US thrash Haiti as Pochettino prepares for farewell

A brace from Christian Pulisic and goals from Auston Trusty, Julian Hall, Weston McKennie and Folarin Balogun gave the US a commanding first-leg advantage.

US thrash Haiti as Pochettino prepares for farewell

On Saturday, the United States defeated Haiti 6-0 in Miami, advancing towards the Concacaf Nations League semi-finals. This victory marked Pochettino's penultimate game as the US coach before he moved on to Manchester United. Christian Pulisic scored twice, Auston Trusty, Julian Hall, Weston McKennie, and Folarin Balogun each netted a goal.

The win provided the US with a commanding first leg advantage and effectively sealed the quarter-final outcome ahead of the second leg in Cincinnati on Tuesday. Pochettino's departure as US coach, announced after agreeing to join Manchester United, had little impact on US preparations for the match, as they delivered their strongest performance under his leadership.
