"COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- Haji Wright scored in the 33rd and 51st minutes off passes from Cristian Roldan, and the United States rallied to beat Australia 2-1 on Tuesday to end the Socceroos' 12-game unbeaten streak on a night Christian Pulisic left the game because of an injury. Jordan Bos had put the No. 25 Socceroos ahead in the 19th minute on Australia's first shot but Wright equalized just after Pulisic appeared to hurt his right leg."
"The 16th-ranked Americans defeated a top 25 opponent for just the second time in 10 matches and improved to 12 wins, seven defeats and one draw since coach Mauricio Pochettino took over. Pochettino, who had not won after trailing, has his team together for just four more matches before he calls in players for his pre-World Cup training camp. The U.S. hosts Paraguay on Nov. 18 and Uruguay four days later, then has two more friendlies in March."
Haji Wright scored in the 33rd and 51st minutes off passes from Cristian Roldan to lift the United States to a 2-1 victory over Australia. Jordan Bos opened the scoring in the 19th minute on Australia's first shot. Christian Pulisic left the game in the 30th minute after being tripped and examined for a right-leg issue and was replaced by Diego Luna. The U.S. improved to 12 wins, seven defeats and one draw under coach Mauricio Pochettino. Australia had won seven straight games and had been unbeaten since a September 2024 loss to Bahrain in World Cup qualifying.
