[Video] USMNT Rout Haiti 6-0 in Nations League Quarterfinal First Leg as Pulisic Scores Twice in 101 Seconds
The U.S. Men's National Team beat Haiti 6-0 at Nu Stadium in Miami on November 14 to take a commanding lead in the first leg of their 2026-27 Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal. After leading by a single goal at halftime, the U.S. scored five times in the second half through five different scorers. The second leg is set for November 17 in Cincinnati, with the U.S. carrying a six-goal advantage. Attendance was 21,597, according to U.S. Soccer's match report.
Auston Trusty opened the scoring in the 10th minute, volleying in a Sebastian Berhalter free kick for his second international goal. In the 52nd minute, 18-year-old Julian Hall finished a counterattack from an Antonee Robinson cross for his fourth goal in five caps. Christian Pulisic then scored twice in 101 seconds: a penalty he won and converted in the 62nd minute, and a low left-footed strike from the top of the arc in the 63rd.
Weston McKennie headed in a Malik Tillman corner in the 68th minute for his 13th international goal, and substitute Folarin Balogun added the sixth in the 82nd minute, also his 13th, from another Tillman assist. Tillman finished with two assists. The U.S. held 71% possession with 90% passing accuracy, and goalkeeper Diego Kochen kept a clean sheet.
Pulisic's brace took his international tally to 35 goals, moving him past Eric Wynalda into sole possession of fourth place on the USMNT's all-time scoring list. It was also the penultimate match in charge for head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who will leave after the second leg. The aggregate winner advances to the Nations League Finals in March at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The win extended the team's unbeaten start to the 2030 World Cup cycle to five matches, including three straight clean sheets.
