American Christian Pulisic celebrated his 20th birthday Tuesday by scoring in the 85th minute of Borussia Dortmund’s 1-0 victory at Club Brugge on the opening day of UEFA Champions League group play.
Pulisic, sidelined by injury for the U.S. national team’s recent friendlies against Brazil and Mexico, entered the match in Belgium in the 69th minute and scored his second career Champions League goal by pressuring defender Matej Mitrovic and deflecting the ball over goalkeeper Karlo Letica.
The only other Americans to score more than once in Europe’s premier club competition are DaMarcus Beasley and Fabian Johnson.
