Christian Pulisic led the U.S. men's national team to a 2-0 win over Bolivia in their Copa America group-stage opener on Sunday.

In just the third minute off a corner kick, Christian Pulisic found some room and netted into the top right corner. Guillermo Viscarra had no chance at saving it due to the swerve, with Tim Weah being credited for the assist.From there, the U.S. dominated possession and didn't let Bolivia generate much of its own chances. The biggest critique from the first half was the lack of conviction from the U.S. following Pulisic's opener.

Three Bolivians also were on yellow cards, and three players were substituted at the break. Midfielder Leonel Justiniano was one of the players on a yellow who came off. However, it was primarily unfortunate action. Pepi finished the game with six shots, but had three big chances missed on 1.95 expected goals on target.In the end, it was a muffled domination by the U.S., which should've won by at least two more goals.Pulisic, Weah, Balogun and Antonee Robinson were among the standouts for the U.S., with Musah having a solid display off the bench.

Bolivia will play Uruguay also on Thursday, with the latter expected to be the favorite to win that affair.
