Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun scored in their return to the United States roster, and the Americans routed Haiti 6-0 on Saturday in Miami in the first leg of the Nations League quarterfinals.

Auston Trusty, Julian Hall and Weston McKennie also scored for the U.S., which had its most goals in a match under Mauricio Pochettino.
