- The American No. 10 scored against Bolivia, the same opponent he first netted against with the national team.
- So far, it’s been the fastest goal of the tournament.
Just over 2 minutes had been played when Christian Pulisic conjured up a truly spectacular goal: receiving a short corner from the left, he moved inside and, with the outside of his right boot, sent the ball into Guillermo Viscarra’s top corner. 1-0 for the United States against Bolivia, marking the fastest goal of the entire CONMEBOL Copa América™ so far.
Pulisic's goal is the fastest in United States history in CONMEBOL Copa América™.
It was also the first goal for the talented midfielder in the oldest national team tournament in the world. Pulisic played in the 2016 edition, also held in the United States, but couldn’t score in that memorable campaign which ended with a historic fourth place finish. The current Milan player was 17 years old at the time.
Against Bolivia as well, in the friendlies leading up to that CONMEBOL Copa América Centenario™, Pulisic scored his first goal for the U.S. national team. It was his third appearance.
The No. 10 already had goals in World Cup Qualifiers, the CONCACAF Nations League, and even the World Cup, when he scored against Iran in the Group Stage to secure a spot in the Round of 1
