Pulisic comes off the bench as Türkiye beats USA with last-gasp goal

The United States ended their World Cup group stage with an inconsistent display against Türkiye. Christian Pulisic entered as a substitute but could not stop a dramatic late defeat.

The American side had shown real promise in their opening matches but struggled to find rhythm in this encounter. Erratic passing and defensive lapses allowed Türkiye to seize control as the game wore on. Pulisic added fresh energy after coming on but the visitors held firm. In the final moments a decisive strike sealed victory for the home team and left the United States with plenty to ponder ahead of the knockout phase.
