The USMNT beat Mexico 3-0 in the Concacaf Nations League semifinal on Thursday, but the chants from Mexican soccer fans saw the game get called earlier than expected.
“In terms of the chant, I want to make it very clear first and foremost, for our beliefs and our culture, it has no place in the game," B.J. Callaghan said after his first game as U.S. interim coach."It has no place in our value system.”
“It's definitely a blow,” Tim Weah said. “It comes with the game. I know the red cards are definitely a bummer, but it happens. Aggressive match tonight.” Making his first start for club or country since April 15, Pulisic put the U.S. ahead in the 37th minute and doubled the lead in the 46th. He has 25 goals in 59 international appearances, including four goals against Mexico. Pepi scored in the 79th, five minutes after replacing Bologun.
McKennie started the move toward the second goal with a long pass down a flank to Weah, who crossed. A sprinting Pulisic got behind Israel Reyes and Sánchez, stabbing the ball in with his left foot from 6 yards.
