In the 38th minute of Tuesday's game, the Chelsea winger received a pass from Sergiño Dest and scored the first goal of the match, putting the USMNT up 1-0.
While making the play, he collided with Iran's goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand. Pulisic was on the ground in pain for more than two minutes. When he got up, he walked away from the net gingerly, but continued playing minutes later. During a stoppage of play later in the half, he doubled over and teammate Weston McKennie checked on him.
