Christian Pulisic scored a wonderful goal
Christian Pulisic, the star player for the U.S. men's national team, scored the first goal in the thrilling Saturday friendly encounter by slyly slipping past the whole German defence. Nevertheless, the USMNT lost 3-1 against the German team in spite of Pulisic's outstanding effort. The highlight of the game came when Pulisic received the ball on the left flank and showed off his skill by cutting inside and dodging a defender. Marc Andre Ter-Stegen, the custodian for Barcelona, was unable to save the accurate shot that he sent into the upper right corner of the net to cap off this outstanding single performance.
Examining the bigger picture, Pulisic has been playing in outstanding ways lately, particularly since joining Milan in the Serie A. He has scored four goals for the Rossoneri while playing in scorching form. His first goal for the USMNT this season came in a friendly against Uzbekistan back in September. The goal scored against Germany marks his second for the team in 3 games played.
USA failed to win against Germany
However, in spite of Pulisic's valiant efforts, the USMNT was unable to win this match. Germany, the four-time World Cup champions, took command and cruised to a 3-1 victory after an incredible first half. Goals from Ilkay Gündogan (39*), Niclas Füllkrug (58*), and Jamal Musiala (61*) secured a win for Germany. Pulisic and his team will play Ghana in the second international friendly of this window on Tuesday, featuring the USMNT standout and the rest of the players. With Pulisic's career on the rise, supporters and enthusiasts look forward to more incredible moments from him on the pitch.
