A U.S. starting lineup that featured Aaronson, Pulisic, Tim Weah and Yunus Musah looked very good in its first World Cup tuneup.
CINCINNATI — It wasn’t just fans of the U.S. men’s soccer team who were waiting to see the squad’s top players clash with a big-time opponent. The players themselves had been waiting, too. On Wednesday night, everyone from both groups got a nice treat.
“It was magical of Christian,” Aaronson said. “And for him to be selfless like he was and to give me the ball and to score it, it was great.”The dream has come true for Brenden Aaronson, with Leeds United and the U.S. men’s soccer team“I guess for you guys it might not be easy,” he told the crowd of reporters in front of him, “but it’s what I’ve done my whole life. ... It’s a touch that I expect myself to make, but yeah, maybe not for everyone.
Aaronson put in plenty of work elsewhere on the field, too: 47 touches, 28-of-31 passing, 9 duels won, 4 recoveries and 2 tackles. Weah doubled the lead in the 32nd with a 20-yard rip that brought even the Morocco fans in the stands to their feet.
