Sporting Kansas City striker Alan Pulido helped the Mexico Men’s National Team to a 2-2 comeback draw against Algeria in an international friendly on Tuesday at Cars Jeans Stadion in The Hague, Netherlands.
Making his first appearance for Mexico since November 2018, Pulido entered as a 73rd-minute substitute with El Tri trailing by a 2-1 scoreline. Mexico dominated most of the second half after Algeria’s Adlene Guedioura was sent off in the 55th minute and ultimately drew level on 86 minutes when Diego Lainez slotted home off the post.
Pulido’s 14th career cap for El Tri marked the first time an active Sporting Kansas City player has represented Mexico at the senior international level.
