Pulisic showed off his skill in an exciting match against Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League final, setting up Reyna for a crucial goal that gave the USMNT a historic 2-0 win.
The game-changing play occurred when AC Milan winger Nikola Pulisic outran Mexican defenders during an enthralling run down the touchline. He skillfully and precisely placed a pinpoint cross just over Mexico’s goalkeeper Memo Ochoa’s reach. A defender attempted to clear the ball off the line, but it landed right into Reyna’s path. She took advantage of the situation by scoring a spectacular goal to increase the lead to 2-0.
At Texas’ AT&T Stadium, celebrations broke out as the USMNT won. Wearing beer goggles and holding a drink in the locker room, Pulisic celebrated winning his third consecutive CONCACAF title.
Reyna’s performance, meantime, cemented his place in the USA’s clutch group even more. Reyna has made a lasting impression on the history of U.S. soccer with his two goals and three assists in three career finals. His impact on the squad is demonstrated by his incredible stat line, which in championship matches outperforms that of any other men’s U.S. international.
In the near future, the USMNT is preparing for this summer’s Copa America. The countdown to the grand event is under way, with friendlies in June against formidable sides like Brazil and Colombia acting as vital warm-up matches. To build on their previous success and leave their imprint on the international scene, the USMNT will play their first tournament encounter against Bolivia on June 23.
