THE ROAD OF THE MATCH FIRST ROUND The United States immediately appeared to attack from the start of the game. Matthew Hoppe and his colleagues moved quickly to find opportunities into the opponent's defense area. But on the other hand, the Mexican players also did not stay silent. The quick counter attack scheme is one of their weapons to put pressure back on the opponent. In the 26th minute, the United States got a golden opportunity through Paul Arriola's shot. Starting from the error of the Mexican defender, free-standing Arriola received feedback from his partner. Unfortunately, his hard shot from close range only hit the goal post. A few minutes later it was Mexico's turn to pose a threat to the United States' goal. Precisely in the 38th minute, Funnes Mori almost brought Mexico ahead. However, his foot shot was still flying just above the crossbar of the United States escorted by Matt Turner. The first half ended in a goalless draw. SECOND ROUND After halftime, the fast rhythm of the game was shown by both teams. Direct attacks occurred since the early minutes of the second half began. Funnes Mori is still Mexico's mainstay to mess up the United States defense. However, the tight defense shown by Gregg Belhater's team made their goal safe from conceding. The role of Matt Turner is very crucial in the United States defense line. The 27-year-old goalkeeper made a number of important saves and kept his goal from conceding until the second half was over. The score is 0-0 draw makes the match continue to extra time ADDITIONAL HALF Entering the extra round, Mexico again appeared pressing.
