ARLINGTON, Texas—Christian Pulisic scored in the third minute and assisted on Folarin Balogun’s goal in the 44th minute as the United States men’s national soccer team cruised past Bolivia 2–0 in their Copa America opener on Sunday night.

Pulisic joined Clint Dempsey as the only U.S. players with a goal and an assist in a Copa America match and reached 30 goals in 69 international appearances, the fewest among Americans.
