In the first leg of the CONCACAF Nations League quarter-finals, the United States thrashed Haiti by a score of 6-0. The main protagonist and MVP of the match was AC Milan player Christian Pulisic, who scored a brace and generally delivered a performance worthy of a true number 10, which is exactly the role he has with the United States national team. The second leg will take place in a few days and is expected to be a mere formality. It will also be Mauricio Pochettino's final match in charge as head coach, as he is now under contract with Manchester United.
As mentioned, Christian Pulisic's performance against Haiti was clearly worthy of the MVP award. The American Milan player scored a brace in his first appearance for the United States since the home World Cup. ESPN gave him a rating of 9, accompanied by the following verdict:
What initially looked like a conservative match then turned into a fantastic performance from the high-profile player who not only scored twice but also found chemistry with his attack with each passing minute."
