Christian Pulisic, USA Beat Curacao 1-0; Advance to Semifinals of 2019 Gold Cup

The United States men's national soccer team held off Curacao to earn a 1-0 win in the quarterfinals of the 2019 Gold Cup on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Weston McKennie was responsible for the only goal. Christian Pulisic delivered a cross into the far post, and McKennie headed in from close range in the 25th minute.

The USMNT moves on to the semifinals, where it meets Jamaica on Wednesday in Nashville, Tennessee. The two countries met in the 2017 Gold Cup final, with the U.S. walking away as the champion following a 2-1 win.
