It looked like Borussia Dortmund was going to settle for a 1-1 draw at home against TSG Hoffenheim. A Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang penalty cancelled out Mark Uth’s earlier opener, but then a 19-year-old American stepped in.
PULISIC WINS IT!
A magical touch and finish from the USMNT Player of the Year gives Dortmund the winner in the 89th minute! https://t.co/4tNrjPTTMZ

That’s Christian Pulisic beating Hoffenheim keeper Oliver Baumann to a 50-50 ball, taking a brilliant touch around him, and then tapping the ball into the open net while leaping in the air. The USMNT standout has scored many goals for both his club and country, but few have been as spectacular or as timely as this one.
It was his second Bundesliga goal of the season and his first since scoring against Hamburg on Sepetmber 20.
The 6% who didn’t vote for him are now saying “Oh, THAT Christian Pulisic…!”
nice future expect for the Usamnt whit Pullisic,and Weston McKinney ,today shine to
whit Schalke against Eintracht Frankfurt
DAMNIT. I want to root for this kid this summer 🙁
we can still root for him this summer – transfer season! no way dortmund will keep him. Bayern def going to go in hard.
I heard a compelling argument that Pulisic would command a HUGE transfer fee to account for the huge American market’s purchasing power being concentrated on the ONE American super-star in Europe. If someone tries to buy him, Dortmund will say “Pulisic could move five-million $100 jerseys in North-America for your team, that’s $500,000,000 in new sales over the years, plus he’s a great player, so we think you should pay us $200,000,000+ for him.”
Just sayin’ “Bayern needs to get a HUGE amount of money up front for Pulisic”
