00:00The second draw under Maurizio Pochettino, Richard's down the right side for Roldan, he'll leave it for Freeman.
00:17McKenzie towards Luna, he's the real Salt Lake man, pushing that one forward to right on the edge of the area, just couldn't quite wriggle free.
00:25Nicely done by Vite, but he left that too for Pulisic.
00:28Christian made a really good run, if he just dummied it, Christian could have taken it in his path.
00:34Immediately Pulisic looked up at the sky and slapped his hands together, you could tell he knew he just let that go, he was in on goal.
00:42The record all getting closer to extending their record unbeaten run, currently at 11 matches with 5 wins and 6 draws.
00:592.5 minutes plus stoppage time away from making it, 12 without defeat.
01:06They're qualified for the World Cup back in June with a 0-0 draw against Peru and Lima.
01:11Second behind Argentina in qualifying, they lost just 2 of 18 matches.
01:16Only conceded five goals, tied for the record low, goals conceded in Colmar Ball qualifying.
01:25Here's Tessman.
01:26What a ball.
01:30Pulisic.
01:31Now Austin on halfway.
01:33Pulisic continuing the run and there's Haji Wright who is onside here.
01:38Haji Wright cuts inside, Haji Wright driving it forward, but couldn't get the direction or really the power he would have wanted on Galindez.
01:45He hasn't had a look at it.
01:53Yeah, Pulisic making one of the drones of Defender.
01:56Does really well to drop the shoulder and free up that space.
01:58Tries to go against the grain and come back to that near post.
02:02Got him a lot of power on it to beat Belinda's near post.
02:09Tessman's just catching Medina a little late.
02:15Another change coming in the closing moments here for Ecuador.
02:36It's going to be Daniel Castillo coming in.
02:41The yellow card's shown there.
02:53To Paco, I think, for taking too long with the free kick.
02:58And the PSG man does now fire it forward towards the edge of the area.
03:01Campana battling.
03:02Back here for Franco.
03:03Into the path of Campana.
03:05This is Rodriguez.
03:06Here's the crossing.
03:07And over the top towards the back post.
03:09Medina couldn't get there, but it might have gone out for a corner.
03:13The last touch coming off Tillman.
03:15Left football want to make a change.
03:30It's Jordi Alcibar leading the game.
03:34And on comes Nishlam midfielder, 21-year-old Daniel Castillo.
03:38And then his debut late in a winner was Venezuela and World Cup qualifying in March.
03:44Three minutes of time to be added on.
03:54Pedro Vite will take this corner.
04:00Fourth corner of the game.
04:01Paco there, who makes a run to the front post as it comes in.
04:07The Machado from Rodriguez is straight to Cervis.
04:16Freeman being tracked by Vite.
04:26Ashton, over the top.
04:28Adji right.
04:30Paco comes across to defend.
04:34Well done.
04:35Really well done.
04:36I'll be right there.
04:38Pulisic.
04:39Christian Pulisic in towards the box.
04:41And Rodriguez and back there.
04:43Preciado battling to try and keep him at bay.
04:52Two minutes of stoppage time remaining here.
04:54It was Ena Valencia's goal that gave Ecuador the advantage.
04:57Balogun inside the final 20 minutes, scoring his second goal in his many games for the U.S.
05:03to tie it up at 1-1.
05:06Australia to come on Tuesday night.
05:09The second game of this October international window.
05:12Paraguay in Philadelphia, followed by Uruguay in Tampa.
05:26And away by McKenzie.
05:31Tessman.
05:31Roldan across towards the right side for Freeman.
05:37Oh, yeah!
05:42Roman coming off the bench for his 10th U.S. cap.
05:47Here's Luna.
05:48Such an impactful player at the goal cut.
05:51Roldan wide to the left side.
05:53This is...
05:55the ball forward towards Pulisic from Arshton.
05:57Everybody back defending apart from Campana.
06:03As Arshton has it here against Preciado.
06:05Arshton towards the byline.
06:06Hoists it high to the back post.
06:08And Nadina flicks that one away.
06:11And they'll just be left to run out for a throw here by Tillman.
06:14The final 30 seconds or so in Austin.
06:28Referee with a check of the watch.
06:32Tillman looking to launch this one long.
06:35One last chance for the United States.
06:38Tillman in towards the front post.
06:41And the whistle goes for full time in Austin.
06:44The United States with a 1-1 draw here against Ecuador.
06:52I feel a crowd a little bit disappointed that they weren't able to push on and get the win.
06:56I think that's because they saw a really good performance that deserved one.
07:00The U.S. one mistake.
07:02Wonderful class from Valencia.
07:05But it didn't trip them up.
07:06They started the game well.
07:07It was consistent the whole time.
07:09Subs came on and made a difference.
07:11You saw in Christian Pulisic's face.
07:12A little disappointed.
07:13They didn't get more opportunities in several moments.
07:16They could have got on the ball in the final third.
07:18But this a very positive performance.
07:22It almost felt like the first time Pochettino was here.
07:26And we got to watch them play under Pochettino at the stadium.
07:30And it looked like that.
07:30It was spirited.
07:31I think this is an evolution of that.
07:34This one was spirited.
07:35It was consistent.
07:36It was dynamic.
07:38It created a lot of chances.
07:39And, yeah, Balogun, I think that's the big takeaway.
07:42And we've been waiting for a nine to start to step up and just be so obviously the choice, the person that Pochettino could depend on.
07:50And Balogun has slowly made that case.
07:52And today was a huge statement.
07:54Seven goals in 20 caps now for Foller and Balogun.
07:58And the Monaco man ties it here in Austin.
08:00Inside the final 20 minutes, it finishes 1-1 for the United States against Ecuador.
08:05Hispanic Heritage Night on TNT is presented by AT&T.
