In a thrilling match held in Denver, Haji Wright shone bright with two goals that led the United States to a 2-1 victory over Australia, snapping the Socceroos' impressive unbeaten streak under coach Tony Popovic.
The win was not without its setbacks, as U.S. captain Christian Pulisic was forced off the field with an injury after a rough challenge from Australian defender Jason Geria. Pulisic's departure was a blow to the U.S. squad, compounded by concerns over his hamstring that will be further assessed in Italy.
