COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Haji Wright scored in the 33rd and 51st minutes off passes from Cristian Roldan, and the United States rallied to beat Australia 2-1 on Tuesday to end the Socceroos' 12-game unbeaten streak on a night Christian Pulisic left the game because of an injury. Jordan Bos had put the No. 25 Socceroos ahead in the 19th minute on Australia’s first shot but Wright equalized just after Pulisic appeared to hurt his right leg.
