NEW DELHI: In a thrilling friendly match against Germany, U.S. men's national team (USMNT) sensation Christian Pulisic left spectators in awe as he dribbled past the entire German defence to secure the opening goal. The stunning goal not only showcased Pulisic's exceptional talent but also helped the USMNT to a 1-0 lead in the friendly.
Posting the video of the goal on X (formerly known as Twitter), USMNT penned, "Pulisic with a SCREAMER to open the scoring."
Pulisic's moment of brilliance came when he received the ball on the left wing, swiftly cut inside, and embarked on a mesmerizing dribble that left a German defender flummoxed.
With astonishing precision, he then curled his shot into the top right corner of the net, leaving Barcelona goalkeeper Marc Andre Ter-Stegen with no chance.
Pulisic's performance in the friendly adds to his remarkable form since transferring to Serie A side AC Milan during the summer.
He has already notched four goals for the Rossoneri and continues to be a key figure for both club and country. This goal marked his second for the USMNT in the 2023/24 season, with the 25-year-old previously finding the net in a friendly match against Uzbekistan in September.
The impressive start against Germany is just the beginning of the USMNT's international commitments during this window. Pulisic and his teammates are now gearing up to face Ghana in their next international friendly, which is scheduled for Tuesday.
As the USMNT continues to build momentum, Pulisic's exceptional skills and leadership will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in their success going forward.
