The United States clinched a thrilling 3-2 victory over Senegal in a World Cup warm-up friendly on Sunday. Christian Pulisic starred by scoring one goal and assisting another, showcasing his return to form under coach Mauricio Pochettino’s guidance.
Early goals by Sergino Dest and Pulisic gave the U.S. an advantage. Despite Senegal’s captain Sadio Mane leveling the scores with help from Habib Diarra’s clever pass, AS Monaco’s Folarin Balogun eventually secured the win for the U.S. by netting the decisive goal past the hour mark.
With one more friendly against Germany ahead of their World Cup opener against Paraguay, the U.S. team remains focused on honing their skills. Meanwhile, Senegal prepares to face France, Iraq, and Norway in their group stage matches.
