Right before the halftime, USMNT star Christian Pulisic put things level for Chelsea against Lille in the second leg of the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League round of 16. Check out the video of his goal.
The return leg of the round of 16 didn't start well for Thomas Tuchel's boys, who were trailing by one after a spot-kick goal from Burak Yilmaz put the hosts ahead in France, reducing the gap in aggregate.
Despite Chelsea won 2-0 at home, Lille's early goal put the visitors' backs against the wall as they were just one away from losing any advantage. However, Pulisic extended the aggregate lead shortly before the halftime.
