Timothy Weah scored after just 36 minutes and John Brooks powered in a header at the death as USA got their 2022 World Cup campaign off to a winning start against Wales.
The Lille frontman put Gregg Berhalter's side ahead in the Group B clash, only for Gareth Bale to haul the Welsh level, at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Al-Rayán.
Weah broke the deadlock with a powerful finish - showing brilliant composure after receiving a well-laid through pass from Pulisic from the centre of the box to bury the ball into the back of the net with a right footed shot.
Rob Page’s Wales were outclassed from the first minute of play and only resisted 36 minutes before Weah shot his side in front.
The Dragons returned from the break determined to avoid defeat and in the 81st minute USA's Walker Zimmerman brought down a Welsh player in the box with referee Al-Jassim having a clear sight of it and blew his whistle to award Wales a penalty.
Bale stepped forward to take the penalty and buried the ball into the top right corner past the outstretched arm of Matt Turner.
The Yanks got out of their usual posture as DeAndre Yedlin whipped a promising cross into the box but the Welsh defence intercepted the ball.
Nothing more was marked to happen in the game as both teams failed to land the decisive last-gasp winner in the dying seconds, even after ref Al-Jassim added 9 more minutes of added time.
The draw has pipped Wales to the second spot with one point and left USA in the third pecking order in Group B.
