Christian Pulisic propelled the U.S. men’s national team into the Final Four of the 2024-25 CONCACAF Nations League.
Pulisic scored twice as the USMNT defeated visiting Jamaica 4-2 in quarterfinal second leg action in St. Louis on Monday. The AC Milan star earned Man of the Match honors for his multi-goal performance at CITYPARK.
The 26-year-old broke the deadlock in the 14th minute after delivering his 32nd international goal. Pulisic snuck behind the Jamaica backline before receiving an over-the-top pass and flicking into the far right corner of Andre Blake’s net.
Pulisic extended the USMNT’s lead in the 33rd minute by delivering his second goal of the match. A fortunate deflection off of Di’Shon Bernard helped Pulisic celebrate his fifth USMNT goal of 2024.
Ricardo Pepi and Tim Weah added goals of their own to pad the USMNT’s victory despite Demarai Gray pulling two goals back for Jamaica.
Pulisic logged 69 minutes in the match, earning his 76th cap for his country. He completed two dribbles and won two duels while also registering his sixth multi-goal performance.
The Pennsylvania native edged Antonee Robinson, Weston McKennie, and Ricardo Pepi for Man of the Match honors.
