47’
What a cracking start to this second half.
After a Jeff Agoos clearance, Joe-Max Moore finds Clint Mathis, who plays this wonderful ball over the top to Wolff.
The substitute makes no mistake, beating a charging Jorge Campos and calmly finishing into the open net.
69’
Brad Friedel was called into action numerous times in the match but not much more important than this save.
Francisco Palencia is in on goal, but the forward shoots it right at Friedel and goalkeeper parries it out for a corner.
87’
The #USMNT seals the victory through a piece of brilliance from Wolff.
The substitute beats two defenders on the dribble before driving end-line. When the defense collapses, Earnie Stewart is on hand to finish off the move!
Huge win to open Matchday 1!
