Christian Pulisic’s first cap ends in another Fourth Round win for the Yanks.

12’
Geoff Cameron’s long pass is nodded down by Gyasi Zardes and Clint Dempsey fires home.

35’
Classic set-piece.

Michael Bradley curls in the cross and Cameron heads it home.

46’
Great drive from DeAndre Yedlin before the pass into Zardes. The ball falls to Graham Zusi, who finds the bottom corner.

89’
Jozy Altidore gets in on the act after some excellent work by Dempsey. Pulisic was waiting for that debut goal.
