Pulisic Leads USA to Convincing 2-0 Victory Over Bolivia in Copa America Opener

Posted : 24 June 2024

The United States kicked off their Copa America campaign with a resounding 2-0 victory over Bolivia in their Group C opener, gaining a significant boost in confidence according to team captain Christian Pulisic. The match, played in front of a spirited home crowd at Arlington, Texas, saw Pulisic open the scoring with a stunning curling shot into the top corner early in the third minute. He later provided the assist for Folarin Balogun's goal just before halftime.

 

 

Despite missing several chances in the second half, Pulisic, affectionately dubbed "Captain America," emphasized the team's positive takeaways from the match. Speaking after the game at the AT&T Stadium, he highlighted the importance of building on their momentum while acknowledging the tougher challenges that lie ahead in the tournament.

 

For the 11th-ranked US team, this victory provides crucial momentum as they aim to make a significant impact in one of South America's premier international tournaments, following their successful run to the knockout stages in the recent World Cup. Defender Antonee Robinson echoed Pulisic's sentiments, emphasizing the importance of starting the tournament with a win to boost confidence and establish their competitive intent.

 

Looking forward, the United States will face 43rd-ranked Panama next in Atlanta on Thursday, followed by a clash with 14th-ranked Uruguay in their final group stage match on July 1 in Kansas City. The team remains focused on continuing their winning form and solidifying their position as contenders in the Copa America.
