Christian Pulisic scores in the third minute and assists on another goal to lift the United States to a 2-0 victory over Bolivia in Copa América group play.
Christian Pulisic scored in the third minute and assisted on Folarin Balogun's goal in the 44th as the United States cruised past Bolivia 2-0 in their Copa América opener on Sunday night. Pulisic joined Clint Dempsey as the only U.S. players with a goal and an assist in a Copa América match and reached 30 goals in 69 international appearances, the fewest among Americans. “We came out flying with a lot of intensity. Obviously, that early goal helped us a lot,” Pulisic said.
Playing a day before his 30th birthday, goalkeeper Matt Turner had three saves in his 25th international shutout. The U.S. improved to 6-0 at AT&T as the Americans opened their fifth Copa América appearance, the first since reaching the semifinals as co-host in 2016. The U.S. had 18 touches inside the attacking penalty area in the first half and Bolivia had none. Pulisic put the U.S. ahead 2:23 in, the fastest American goal in 34 competitive matches against South American opponents.
