👔 Klinsmann

📋 Friendly

A one-goal lead was squandered by the US with Mark Gonzalez nabbing a second-half brace.

6’

Brek Shea does well with a Matt Besler ball over the top and the US grab an early lead.

31’

After a Roberto Gutierrez equalizer in the 10th, Jozy Altidore moves fifth on the all-time #USMNT goal-scoring list.

He would eventually finish career third with 42 senior goals.

DeAndre Yedlin’s throw finds Mix Diskerud. Back to Yedlin before the slip back to Diskerud. 

Great composure to find Altidore and he curls the ball home to the side net.

75’

The comeback is complete as Gonzalez pounces on a Nick Rimando parried save. 

A win for Chile..
