Pulisic and McKennie stand out and USA open the scoring against Paraguay with Bobadilla's own goal
In the opening of the 2026 World Cup, the USA took the lead against Paraguay after an own goal by Damian Bobadilla, in a beautiful play between Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic.
Serie A duo Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic helped the USA get off to a good start at the 2026 World Cup, combining on a play that resulted in an own goal from São Paulo defender Damian Bobadilla. Pulisic made a fantastic move, showing off his speed as he entered the box and then passed the ball to McKennie, who attempted a tap-in. The shot, however, ended up deflecting off Bobadilla's foot and into the net, putting the USA ahead. Pulisic showed his intention to shine in front of the home crowd as the USA look to start their home campaign with a win.
