Brahim Diaz led his Italian team AC Milan to a 1-0 victory over their English guest Tottenham Hotspur in their match on Tuesday night in the first leg of round 16 of the European Champions League.
And when the seventh minute came, Diaz managed to put Milan ahead, after he successfully opened the scoring with a goal that came from a powerful shot by Theo Hernandez that was blocked by the goalkeeper and then Diaz with a kick that the goalkeeper also blocked, but Diaz hit back with a header that hit the net.
