“I’m riding the wave. I’ve had such a great second half of the year. It’s been great to enjoy the moment. I’m continuing in that way and not being satisfied. I know I can reach another level.”

- Cristian Roldan on his club form and getting a renewed opportunity with the USMNT

Poch on Malik Tillman: He did not dress tonight because of an injury yesterday. Hamstring cramp. Poch says it's not serious. #USMNT

Tonight is the first game under Poch that the USMNT has won coming from behind.

Poch on Pulisic: He felt something in his hamstring. He'll be assessed tonight and return to Milan.

Fulltime! USMNT win!

A back and forth half but one the Yanks contain and control for the most part. Good effort from the subs. Luna and Aaronson were on the same page. Great night for Roldan and Wright on the goals. Hope Pulisic's ok. Tonight was progress ahead of the World Cup.

90+1 Chance Morris! Aiden Morris gets into space, but rushes it, shoots wide. Should have been 3-1.

90' Shot Irankunda! Great run as he shakes off Robinson and shoots. Awkward save for Freese but he collects.

83' Play stopped after a head collision between Freeman of the US and the goalscorer Bos for Australia. Both players got up and walked off under their own power. Both returned to play.

Another excellent finish by Wright to get the brace! Great heads up play by Roldan on the free kick to set it up for his second assist!

56' Yellow card to Richards. Nothing comes of the free kick.

51' GOAL USMNT! Long ball to Haji Wright who runs it down. He chops the ball to set up the shot and buries it far corner! What a curler!

46' Aiden O'Neill with a great shot in the opening minute. Ball gets to him with space, blocked by a defender. That could have been two.

1-1 | #USMNT

46' Kickoff. The second half is underway. No halftime subs it looks like, not for the US at least.

Halftime. 1-1. Jordan Bos then Hadji Wright.

A slow first 20 minutes then two goals then some chippy fouls. USMNT were better after conceding. Sands got stuck in. Good passing on the goal. Still, the Pulisic injury is a buzzkill. #USMNT

Burgundy Wave @burgundywave.bsky.social · 9h

45+1 Sands comes back onto the field. Makes a recovery run and tackles the ball away. They go forward. Sands run into from behind near the sideline. Foul called. US players are not happy.

1-1 | #USMNT
