Christian Pulisic brace powers Borussia Dortmund to 3-1 victory over Liverpool

Christian Pulisic

American international Christian Pulisic scored two second-half goals to lift Borussia Dortmund to a 3-1 win over Liverpool in an International Champions Cup friendly in North Carolina on Sunday.

Pulisic almost completed the hat trick in the 93rd minute but his blast from in close was stopped and the rebound went to teammate Jacob Bruun Larsen who deposited it into the empty net as Dortmund improved to 2-0 in the 18-team pre-season tournament.

With Mohamed Salah, Pedro Chirivella, Georginio Wijnaldum, Sadio Mane and Marko Grujic sitting out, it was an inexperienced Liverpool side that took to the field. Virgil van Dijk opened the scoring for Liverpool in the 25th minute with a perfectly timed header off a long cross from Andrew Robertson.
