Pulisic’s winner against the Iranians came as he threw his body into a tangle of defenders to jab home Sergino Dest’s headed cross. “Obviously we’re very thankful that he threw his body there,” McKennie said. “It was a heart-drop sinking moment, but we got it done and we’re excited to still be here.”
