FOOTBALL - Coventry City's Haji Wright nets brace for USA in victory against Australia

Aaron Sutcliffe 15th Oct, 2025   0

HAJI Wright continued his hot streak in front of goal while on international duty with the United States of America.

The Coventry City forward netted a brace as USA claimed a 2-1 friendly win against Australia in Colorado.

Wright inspired his country to victory with goals either side of the break after Jordan Bos put the visitors ahead.

The Sky Blues striker levelled the game on 33 minutes with a clever toe poke past the goalkeeper at his near post from Cristian Roldan’s through ball.

And Wright completed the turnaround on 51 minutes when he latched onto a quickly taken free-kick, cut in on his left foot and curled a shot into the left corner of the goal.

USA boss Mauricio Pochettino later substituted Wright in a tactical switch just past the hour mark.




Wright has now scored seven goals in 19 caps for the United States.

He also sits top of the Championship goalscoring charts with eight goals in nine matches.
