Hosts Milan built pressure and made the breakthrough on the hour mark. Tijjani Reijnders slipped the ball through to Rafael Leão who crossed for Pulisic to fire in on the half-volley.
American Yunus Musah almost doubled Milan’s lead in the 73rd but he was denied by a superb save by Ivan Provedel.
The Lazio goalkeeper had pulled off an equally impressive stop at the end of the first half to prevent Olivier Giroud from marking his 37th birthday with a goal.
Noah Okafor sealed the match two minutes from time with a simple tap-in after some great work by Leão.
