    Christian Pulisic's incredible second half of 2024 continues as the U.S. men's national team star scored an amazing opening goal to put his team up 1-0 in the 14th minute.

    Weston McKennie saw an open space 20 yards up and kicked a long ball towards Pulisic, who made an brilliant run to blaze past two Jamaica defenders, and with an pinpoint first touch, launched the ball past Andre Blake in Jamaica's goal.

    Pulisic would follow the strike with another goal off a strong Tanner Tessmann dummy to push up the U.S. 2-0 in the 33rd minute.

    The two goals along with Ricardo Pepi and Tim Weah's goals now puts the U.S. up 5-2 on aggregate against the Reggae Boyz.
