Christian Pulisic scored his seventh goal in UEFA Champions League competition, helping Chelsea to reach the quarterfinals on Wednesday.

The U.S. men’s national team standout latched on a Jorginho pass and beat goalkeeper Leonardo Jardim from the edge of the six-yard box three minutes into first-half extratime in the second leg in Lille, France.

Chelsea won the series by an aggregate score of 4-2, recording a 2-1 victory.

It was Pulisic’s fourth Champions League knockout-stage goal, one more than all other U.S. internationals combined. He tied Trinidad & Tobago’s Dwight Yorke for the most knockout stage goals s by a Concacaf international.

Cesar Azpilicueta tallied the game-winner in the 71st minute.

Tim Weah entered the match in the 58th minute, as two USMNT players competed in the same game for the first time.
