AC Milan star Christian Pulisic factored into both US goals, scoring the first shortly after the match kicked off before assisting on Folarin Balogun’s tally just before halftime.
The USMNT got off to a dream start, opening the scoring three minutes into the match through Pulisic. The US captain uncorked a highlight-reel strike following a short corner kick, dispatching a curling finish past Bolivia goalkeeper Guillermo Viscarra.
That lead doubled in the 44th minute, this time via a Pulisic-led counterattack. Balogun provided the finishing touch, converting to the far post after collecting Pulisic’s layoff.
Former New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Turner made three saves for the US, as Gregg Berhalter’s group also recorded a clean sheet.
