00:00What do you feel like has the most to prove or the most to gain tonight for you personally?

00:05For me personally, I think it has to be Tesman. I look at Tesman, he's had a great start with Lyon.

00:12He's someone that, when he's been in the national team, he's played okay, but we still haven't seen the best of him.

00:18We haven't seen what he's brought to Lyon to the national team.

00:22So I think for him, Weston McKinney is the player for the U.S. national team.

00:28He's a real star, and this would be a good opportunity to see him back again.

00:33We are 245 days away from the United States World Cup opener at SoFi Stadium.

00:39And as Maurizio Pochettino reaches the 12-month...

00:47Richard's trying to climb and head it away, and that's driven in and just wide there from Acevedo.

00:53But it does really well to collect it.

00:58Another one out there, Pops, that takes a good first touch.

01:04That was a good look. You know, you think that based on where...

01:08...against Japan on his first start for the U.S. in 12 months...

01:11This is Tillman with the corner in towards Chris Richards, and Richard's climbing, heads it wide, he's scored here in the Gold Cup.

01:20Now sometimes they're just not direct, and just play the save ball, play it long, relieve the pressure, and...

01:27Tillman in towards Balogun here, and Balogun drives it low.

01:30Belinda's able to make the save, that was nicely done by Tillman from that situation to send Balogun away.

01:35...finished with that, I mean, it's picking and choosing the right moments for these little...

01:39...these little between-the-lines interactions. I mean, Balogun has started the game so sharply, takes an excellent first touch.

01:45Arshton battling to try and get there.

01:47Aidan Morris back now, trying to halt the runners. Vite, the former Vancouver man, brings it forward.

01:52And now, a little shove in the back there by Richards, he'll get a yellow card here from Filip Dujic.

01:59Initial collision. Yeah, it was just too difficult to take him down.

02:03There was a few times, little clipped heels and grabs of the jersey, just trying to make a professional foul here.

02:09And Richards had had enough, just goes for it himself.

02:14Green's ball down the left side, and Balogun here up against Alcivar.

02:17And he opens up a little bit to Balogun, and he tried to curl it towards the top corner.

02:24And you know what? He wasn't too far away.

02:30They just took that quick glance, and this is what I love about him.

02:33Just watch how quickly he can get away, find a little window, and just balance, composed, and a wonderful strike.

02:40That doesn't miss by much.

02:42I think movement as a winger is obviously key.

02:44If you want to score goals, you can't always just stay wide.

02:48You need to have a variety in your attack, including all the runs that he is making.

02:52He's had later on in the move to the striker.

02:54He's out of Valencia, trying to get him down the right side.

02:57Valencia! Run the Ecuador!

02:59From the Ecuador!

03:06The veteran striker, Ana Valencia!

03:10His 48th international goal!

03:12And right there, Aiden Morrissey just gambles.

03:18He gambles on that first one, and after that, you know, Richard just doesn't read the right movement over his shoulder.

03:24And that pivot to try to go find Valencia. Valencia was already moving with that first touch to free himself up.

03:30Watch this, just beautiful first touch.

03:34And at this point, as the angle's getting worse, and that's just how good a goal scorer he is.

03:38Hey, Richard, he absolutely closes the space.

03:40And he's right there to be able to block that shot.

03:43But Valencia, I mean, just so much class and understanding how much time he has to get that shot off.

03:47It gets cleaned down afterwards, but a beautiful finish.

03:50And yet, just too little.

03:54Against Argentina in the last World Cup qualifier in September.

03:59Tillman's ball in front post, goes all the way through to Richards!

04:06Well, here's a very close look at this save.

04:10It comes out so quickly.

04:12That's a wonderful, wonderful save.

04:14It's the AT&T net count.

04:16Yeah, Richard, they did well to take it off the half volley.

04:19Strikes it.

04:20Huge early season game in Syria.

04:23Lovely turn here from Austin as he gets his way into the box and takes a deflection through.

04:28And it's behind off Balogun after another save by Golindo.

04:32Great reaction save from the goalkeeper.

04:35Then again, Weston McKenney did a wonderful run through the midfield.

04:39And as this ball deflects, it looks like it might at least catch that post.

04:44But what's going on does it?

04:47Just quick.

04:48Make sure he pawns it.

04:49Blair standing that cross up towards McKenney on the edge of the box.

04:53Austin tries to bring it down against Preciado.

04:55Austin flicks it through.

04:56Chance for Tillman, but the flag is up.

04:58Coming up next, the Volkswagen half-time show.

05:05Ryan Dunseth, Marcus Weasley and Katie Wetham pitch side with the highlights from the first 45 minutes.

05:12The challenge comes in there from Miles Robinson.

05:15He's got a yellow car.

05:20Against Paez.

05:23This happens sometimes where...

05:29Where?

05:30Lovely play here as the ball's driven in and just keeps wide.

05:34It took a deflection on the way through.

05:36And it will be a U.S. corner here in the final 90 seconds of the half.

05:41Beautiful bit of ingenuity here.

05:43Quick little toe poke.

05:44One, two.

05:45In the past a little bit.

05:47And now pushed through the middle for Balogun to chase onto.

05:51Balogun shoulder to shoulder with O'Donies.

05:53Balogun steps inside.

05:55And he gets the shots away here.

05:56Rolls it back for Morris.

05:57And it takes the deflection wide.

06:00I think it might have clipped the foot of Tim Ware on the way through.

06:06Wonderful ball here from Weston McKinney.

06:09Excellent.

06:10Balogun shows his pace.

06:11Look at the Preciado.

06:12Just this little touch right here with his toe.

06:14And just really good defending that he's able to get that departure.

06:20Toman against Angulo.

06:21Angulo comes away with the ball.

06:22That's frustration here that a couple of calls didn't go the way of the U.S.

06:25That's a wonderful ball.

06:26And Tillman picks out.

06:27Runo drives it in.

06:29Great move.

06:31There's what I was talking about.

06:32What we need.

06:33I would say tip right at the goal people.

06:34But wonderful touch.

06:36Not thinking anything but shoot.

06:39But you're coming here as it's given away there by O'Donies.

06:41Where?

06:42In towards Tessman.

06:43Tessman.

06:44Tessman through.

06:45It's a chance for Tillman.

06:46It's Balogun up the post and in.

06:47It's 1-1.

06:48It's Balogun with a goal.

06:50Inside the final 20 minutes.

07:00Following Balogun scoring in back-to-back games for the United States.

07:04The quality just went up a little bit in the final third.

07:06Balogun was going to get his chance.

07:07And lovely from Tessman.

07:09You thought maybe he took a touch too many.

07:11But it actually drew the defender perfectly.

07:13And right here.

07:15At that point.

07:17Tillman, you think maybe he's just going to try to hammer one near post.

07:21But it just waits for Balogun to get into the right spot.

07:23Stays on side.

07:24Has a look at Balogun.

07:25Just gets there first.

07:27Opens up his body.

07:29It just cushions it right towards that near post.

07:34Finally got his goal.

07:35He deserved it.

07:36Pacho all over him.

07:37I mean, look at this.

07:38I mean, all game long.

07:39This has been the game for him.

07:43But just, just a quality.

07:47Roldan in midfield.

07:48And Pulisic coming on.

07:52And now Rodriguez with a strike.

07:54It deflects.

07:55He straights at Matt Freeze.

07:57And Freeze has had a very quiet night tonight.

07:59520 minutes by Balogun.

08:02Casiado does well down the right side.

08:06As he looks for the ball in.

08:07Campana climbs.

08:08And Freeze can get there.

08:11Yeah, Rich was getting a little packed.

08:15Second chance to clear.

08:16Freeman flips that one down the right side.

08:18He got caught by Medina.

08:22And a yellow card coming here for Yemal Medina.

08:25One goal.

08:31Now Austin on half way.

08:32Pulisic continuing the run.

08:33And there's Haji Wright who is onside here.

08:37Haji Wright cuts inside.

08:38Haji Wright driving it forward.

08:40But couldn't get the direction or really the power he would have wanted on Galindez.

08:46Here's another look at it.

08:48Yeah Pulisic making one of the drones of the defender.

08:50Does really well.

08:52Fourth corner of the game.

08:55He just looked for Pacho there.

08:57Who makes a run to the front post as it comes in.

08:59The Mercado from Rodriguez is straight to Freeze.

09:03One last chance for the United States.

09:06Tillman in towards the front post.

09:09And the whistle goes for full time in Austin.

09:14The United States with a 1-1 draw here against Ecuador.

09:17They were really proud of a little bit disappointed that they weren't able to push on and get the win.

09:24I think that's because they saw a really good performance that deserved one.

09:27The U.S.

09:29One mistake.

09:30Wonderful class from Valencia.

09:32But it didn't trip them up.

09:34They started the game well.

09:35It's consistent full time.

09:36Subs came on and made a difference.

09:38I think you saw Christian Pulisic's face a little disappointing.

09:41He didn't get more opportunities in several moments.

09:43He could have got on the ball in the final third.

09:45But this a very positive performance.

09:49It almost felt like the first time Pochettino was here.

09:54And we got to watch them play under Pochettino at the stadium.

09:57And it looked like that.

09:58It was spirited.
