Ebenezer Akinsanmiro provided his first assist as Pisa held AC Milan to a 2-2 draw in a Serie A clash on Friday.
Akinsanmiro saw action for 90 minutes in the match which was his sixth in the Italian topflight this season.
The 20-year-old who is on loan from Inter Milan, set up teammate M’Bala Nzola whose strike out Pisa 2-1 ahead with four minutes left to play.
But a 93rd minute goal by Zachary Athekame made it 2-2 thereby earning Milan a share of the points.
Rafael Leao had opened the scoring for Milan in the seventh minute before Juan Cuadrado drew Pisa level in the 60th minute.

Despite the draw Pisa are still i. The relegation zone as they occupy 18th place on four points after eight matches played.
For Milan, they remain in first position on 17 points but could lose the spot if Inter Milan, Napoli and AS Roma win their own fixtures.

Call up this lad asap for the playoffs. I watched the game and he’s an all round midfield maestro. Defends, attacks, makes good passes, jas vision and stamina + strength. Good long balls also dey leg. We need him.
Our midfield has suffered from creativity or lack there of, for a long time.
This kid Akansanmiro should be given a chance.
So should Rafiu Durosinmi of Czech club Plzen. He has been a consistent goal scorer for some time now. Over-reliance on one striker has been among the national team’s Achilles-heel.
There are more Benjamin Fredricks out there. The coach just has to be willing to take a chance on them . If for nothing else, just for the simple reason that they seem to show hunger and desire.
This is true. We should give others a chance.
Leave Paul,kelechi and co give this young lads a chance. This days youth are taking over the football world. Who could dare it before for a 20yrs fredrick to bench Ekong
Ebenezer Akinsanmiro surely needs to be called for the playoff games in November. He is an energetic, skilled and intelligent midfielder who will add value to the Super Eagles midfield which neeeds to be strengthened. Over to you coach Chelle.
This kid deserves a call up. He might be a breath of fresh air like Fredrick and Akor Adams.
Sweet assist against AC Milan. Battling the great Modric and solid Fofana. We need some energy in our midfield.
Iwobi and Ndidi are close to 30 now. They can only give max 50 minutes of solid display that’s why we need another young leg in that middle.
Not necessarily to start, but he should be part of Iyanu To N’Chelle.
Operation Gabon must fall.
