USA’s Aaronson, Weah and Pulisic star in dominant win over Morocco

Brenden Aaronson and Tim Weah scored midway through the first half, Haji Wright converted a second-half penalty in his international debut and the United States beat Morocco 3-0 on Wednesday night in the first of their four World Cup warm-up matches in June.

The Americans, who were not at full-strength, beat Morocco for the first time in the four meetings between the teams. Wearing rainbow numbers on white jerseys for LGBTQ Pride month, the US extended their unbeaten home streak to 24 matches since a September 2019 loss to Mexico, two shy of the team record.

Christian Pulisic set up Aaronson for his sixth international goal in the 26th minute after controlling a 50-yard pass from Walker Zimmerman, taking fine touches with both feet, beating defender Samy Mmaee and laying the ball off to Leeds United’s new signing.
