The goals
The first winner came early, at six, with Pulisic. The North American midfielder received it from Chukwueze and sent a beautiful left-footed shot to the goalkeeper’s right side.
The second was scored at 20, still in the first stage, with Olivier Giroud. The French center forward rose above the opponent’s defense and scored with a header, with no chance of defending.
The third came 12 minutes into the second half, from the feet of Portuguese Rafael Leão. The striker, who came face to face with the goalkeeper after Yacine Adli’s pass, sent a low shot into the back of the net.
