USMNT vs. Bolivia: Match Recap and Highlights | Copa America 2024

ARLINGTON, Texas (June 23, 2024) — A sensational third-minute goal from captain Christian Pulisic helped propel the United States men's national team to a 2-0 shutout victory over Bolivia and an exciting start for the Copa Amrica 2024 Sunday evening at AT&T Stadium. The United States was in complete control in their Group C debut at AT&T Stadium and Pulisic was the catalyst. He opened the scoring after just 141 seconds, then orchestrated a goal from Folarin Balogun late in the first half that effectively put the game out of reach.

A crowd of 47,873 saw the USMNT launch its fifth appearance in this prestigious competition launched in 1916 and which is being played for the second time in the United States. Pulisic, the only member of the current squad to have appeared in this tournament, looked completely comfortable at kick-off on Sunday.

The United States was awarded an early corner and instead of playing it towards the penalty area, Pulisic touched it short to Tim Weah and then ran towards the top left corner of the penalty area. Weah returned the ball and Pulisic took a touch to his right before launching a perfect curling shot that flew just beyond the reach of Bolivian goalkeeper Guillermo Viscarra. At the age of 17, Pulisic scored his first USMNT goal against the same goalkeeper in a friendly match in 2016. On Sunday, Pulisic scored his 30th goal, putting him alongside Brian McBride in fifth place from the all-time list.

Now 25 and coming off a career season at AC Milan, Pulisic has reached 30 goals in a USMNT record 69 caps. He is the second youngest player to reach this milestone, behind Landon Donovan.

The Americans remained in control as the match stabilized and Bolivia, ranked 84th in the world, buckled but refused to break. As halftime approached, the United States' dominance in ball possession finally paid off. Pulisic was the instigator again in the 44th minute, drifting centrally and dropping a little deeper to receive a pass from Gio Reyna, who produced an efficient two-way performance. Pulisic turned and dribbled into the heart of Bolivia's half, drawing several defenders towards him before feeding an open Balogun on the left. The AS Monaco striker finished with his left foot, on his third shot of the period, scoring his fourth goal in the American jersey and the first of 2024.

A third goal looked likely as the United States remained in front after halftime, but Viscarra made several excellent saves. He denied Pulisic in the 60th and replacement striker Ricardo Pepi in the 79th and 80th minutes, then again on the doorstep in the final seconds.

That third goal wasn't necessary, however, as the Americans never let Bolivia establish any rhythm going forward. The four American defenders, Antonee Robinson, Tim Ream, Chris Richards and Joe Scally, starting together for the third consecutive game, looked comfortable. Bolivia had just one touch throughout the match inside the US penalty area and goalkeeper Matt Turner only had three relatively routine saves to make before securing another shutout. Celebrating his 30th birthday a day earlier, Turner notched his 25th clean sheet in just 42 appearances, breaking the program record for fastest to reach that milestone set by Kasey Keller (53 caps).

The United States is now 3-2-4 against Bolivia and 1-1-0 in the Copa Amrica, avenging its group stage defeat in 1995. Uruguay and Panama, the other nations in the group C, were to meet later. Sunday in Miami. The USMNT (1-0-0) will continue its group stage run on Thursday, June 27 when it takes on Panama at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta (6 p.m. ET; FOX, Univision, TUDN, FDP Radio).
