On October 15, 2025, the USA national team faced off against Australia in a tense match at Dick's Sporting Goods Stadium in Colorado. The game started with the USA dominating possession and territory, but it was the visiting Socceroos who struck first.
In the 19th minute, Jordy Bos, a rising star in the Dutch Eredivisie, scored a shock opening goal for Australia. However, the USA's response was swift, as striker Haji Wright netted a brace to put the hosts in front before halftime.
The match took a concerning turn when USA captain Christian Pulisic was forced off the pitch in the 27th minute due to a lower leg injury. Pulisic had recently returned to the starting lineup after an ankle issue, but the physical challenges from the Socceroos proved too much, and the AC Milan star had to be substituted.
