The Wunderkind struck again — twice.
Eighteen-year-old Christian Pulisic bagged a brace to lead the United States to a crucial 2-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo., on Matchday 5 of the Hexagonal in CONCACAF 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying.
The Borussia Dortmund midfielder opened the scoring in the 52nd minute on a sliding effort off a feed from former Seattle Sounders defender and current Newcastle man DeAndre Yedlin. Pulisic doubled the U.S.’ lead in the 65th after combining on a lovely give-and-go with forward Jozy Altidore and coolly slotting the ball in at the near post.
