Overview
- Christian Pulisic came off the bench around the 58th minute on Thursday after a 13-day absence for a left calf issue and played roughly 30–40 minutes to rebuild match fitness.
- He made an immediate attacking impact by creating chances, testing the goalkeeper and striking the post, showing no obvious limitation from the calf knock.
- Türkiye scored a stoppage-time winner that began with Arda Güler nutmegging Pulisic and ended with Kaan Ayhan’s last‑kick goal, leaving the match 3-2.
- The result did not affect progression because the U.S. had already clinched first place in Group D and will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32 on July 1.
- Reports say New York City FC has expressed interest in signing Pulisic with an Italian outlet claiming a $10 million offer while AC Milan was reported not inclined to sell; the financial details and any transfer remain unconfirmed.
