00:00scoring goals, here is Mitoma going one way to the other on Freeman
00:04Mitoma's ball in, cut out by Roldan
00:12Mino Mino
00:18Mitoma, back for Seiko
00:23Keep play but in the end comes to nothing
00:30He's trying to protect what would be a third clean sheet of his international career
00:40Count number nine
00:48Otomo down the left, Mino Mino with the ball into the box
01:00Now the header over the bar, not causing any trouble there from Shinto Machino
01:09We take a look at the old state moments of the match
01:11And the U.S. just all game long getting great grip out of their wing backs
01:18And that's just a wonderful, wonderful finish
01:22Not gonna get tired of watching that
01:25There is a good look at it, slow-mo
01:28With a performance from Zendaya
01:29Well the sellout signs were up here at lower.com field tonight
01:3820,192 the announced attendance
01:41And they have seen
01:45A U.S. side that took that lead through Zendaya in the 30th minute
01:50Balogun
01:52Get his goal in the second half to make it two
01:55Into three minutes of time being added on at the end of this one
01:59Seiko down the left side, off the back of Freeman and out it goes for Japan
02:04Throw
02:05Now it's coming a little over half an hour apart and Dejas on the half hour
02:15Balogun just after the hour mark
02:20So the wire on the far side as it comes in towards the midfield and
02:24Armada pushing it out to the left
02:27A bit positive for Cochettino, two games in a row with the substitutes off the bench
02:31Lifted the game a little bit
02:33Would have been easy to fall into a complacent
02:35Comfortable
02:36Defensive mold
02:38Not try anything but the energy has stayed really high
02:40The substitutes have been very dangerous coming on
02:44It's gonna be fascinating
02:45When Mauricio Cochettino names that squad for the October window
02:54Amino just outside the box couldn't find a way past Ream
02:57This is Dest
02:58Ream up towards halfway
03:01Isakina at the back here for Japan
03:04Sekini at the back here for Japan
03:07A rare defeat for Japan
03:12Amino on the left
03:17Amino on the left
03:19They're facing a common ball opposition in October at home
03:23Against Paraguay and Brazil in the next international window
03:26They only lost once across two rounds of World Cup qualifying, 16 games, they scored 54 and only conceded three in qualifying in 16 games.
03:42Definitely know what we got when it gets to that point.
03:45Iraqis ball out to the left side, picked up here by Matoma, Matoma down the line and chasing across there, making the challenge.
03:57Went out of play by Harrell.
04:05Matoma, Seko, off the head of Roldan, brought down by McGlynn, matter of 30 seconds or so left to be played.
04:13Diego Luna has it, but he couldn't get there, ahead of the challenge from Sekine.
04:20And it's out of play for a throw on the far side, and that will just about be it here for the U.S.
04:27A sixth 2-0 win for the United States in Columbus.
04:32You can say it.
04:38Green, Cesaro's back to Columbus.
04:43Long ball downfield from Fries.
04:47The final whistle goes, and in a city that has meant so much over the years to the U.S. men's national team, a result that has meant so much to the U.S. men's national team over the years.
05:062-0 the final score, as it has been so often in Columbus.
05:10A big boost from Maurizio Pochettino's side here against Japan as they get the win.
05:16And two players who were brought into this camp to try and prove they deserve to be here longer term for Pochettino have made an impact with Zendejas and Balogun getting the goals.
05:28Matt Fries gets the clean sheets, it finishes 2-0 for the U.S. against Japan.
