The Hershey native scored a pretty goal and assisted Folarin Balogun’s tidy strike, and the Americans were rarely troubled against the worst team they'll play in the tournament.The U.S. men’s soccer team kicked off its run at the Copa América with a 2-0 win over Bolivia, and its best player was the biggest reason why.
Bolivia is the worst team the U.S. will play in the tournament, and that showed in the box score. The Americans had a 20-6 in shots, 7-2 in the first half and 13-4 in the second, even though they stepped off the gas pedal for a while in the first. The expected-goals statistic, which measures the quality of shots taken, was 2.40-0.18 in the U.S.’ favor.“We came out flying with a lot of intensity,” said Pulisic on Fox’s TV broadcast afterward.
Pepi tallied six shots in his shift after Balogun tallied three, and Pepi really should have scored at least one of them. Maybe two, since he slammed a shot at Bolivia goalkeeper Guillermo Viscarra in the 79th and couldn’t convert a double-chance on the doorstep in the 90th.Luca de la Torre replaced Weston McKennie in midfield in the 78th, and Medford’s Brenden Aaronson replaced Timothy Weah at right wing in the 86th.
