Christian Pulisic's brace powers USMNT to 6-0 rout of Haiti in Mauricio Pochettino's farewell tour
Christian Pulisic scored twice in his first U.S. appearance since the World Cup as the Americans overwhelmed Haiti in the first leg of the Nations League quarterfinals, giving Mauricio Pochettino a commanding victory before his farewell.
The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) secured a dominant 6-0 victory over Haiti in Mauricio Pochettino's final match in his farewell tour. The match took place at Nu Stadium in Miami, where the USMNT showcased a commanding performance against Haiti, who were playing an away game on American soil due to security concerns in Port-au-Prince.
Pochettino's team showcased their strength in the first half, with early goals from Auston Trusty and a penalty scored by Christian Pulisic in the 52nd minute. In the second half, Pulisic added his second goal in the 66th minute and McKennie scored in the 78th minute. The USMNT's dominance was evident as they scored four goals in just 16 minutes of the second half, with the final goal coming from Balogun in the 82nd minute.
The victory marked the largest margin of victory since the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup against Trinidad and Tobago.
