## Summary

The United States beat Haiti 6-0 in the first leg of their Concacaf Nations League quarter-final in Miami, taking a commanding lead into the return match. The result came during Mauricio Pochettino’s final games as US manager, after a week dominated by questions about his departure and future plans.

Auston Trusty opened the scoring from a Sebastian Berhalter free kick, then Julian Hall, Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Folarin Balogun helped complete the rout. Pulisic’s brace moved him to fourth on the US all-time scoring list, while 18-year-old Hall scored again after making his debut in the previous international window. Haiti hosted in Miami under a special arrangement because of political unrest and gang violence in Port-au-Prince.
