The U.S. national team earned a hard-fought point in Panama and the young BVB star proved he was up to the task in a hostile CONCACAF environment.
The signs were clear from the beginning of Tuesday night's match in Panama City. Christian Pulisic was going to face tough treatment from the Panamanian national team, and wasn't going to get the benefit of the doubt from the referee. It was a match sure to test his patience and temperament, and it would have been easy for the teenager to struggle and fade into the background on a night when he was once against the youngest player on the field.
