Christian Pulisic led the charge as the United States opened their Copa America campaign with a commanding 2-0 victory over Bolivia in Group C at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Pulisic notched one goal and assisted another to secure a crucial three points for the US.

The American captain wasted no time in making an impact, curling in a spectacular early goal just three minutes into the match. Bolivia goalkeeper Guillermo Viscarra got a hand to Pulisic's powerful shot from the edge of the area but couldn't prevent it from finding the net.

The US continued to dominate possession but struggled to convert their control into clear chances against a resilient Bolivia side, who picked up three yellow cards in the first half due to their aggressive play.

However, just before halftime, Pulisic turned provider, setting up striker Folarin Balogun with a precise pass inside the penalty area. Balogun calmly finished to extend the lead to 2-0.

In the second half, the US maintained their attacking momentum with Balogun coming close to scoring again and Pulisic forcing a fine save from Viscarra. Substitute Ricardo Pepi had two good opportunities to increase the margin, but his efforts were either off target or saved.

Overall, it was a dominant performance by the US, highlighted by their movement upfront and Pulisic's influential display. The victory sets a positive tone for Gregg Berhalter's side as they prepare to face Panama in their next Copa America match on Thursday.
