01:14Aidan O'Neill.
01:16Australia moving it nicely, but Freeman steps in to prevent the ball getting through to Boston.
01:24And then McKinney finds Sands here.

07:20balagan coming in for wright
07:22our auto trade a key sub of the game really well done from wright yeah that was a big statement
07:30performance never early on it wasn't as clean holding the ball up it just came into the game and
07:35obviously got two wonderful goals what a time to put a performance in like that
07:40the game was a great partnership with roldon a lot of that was working well
07:46it was on the ball down he was aggressive from the start of the game he was clean between the lines
08:02and a great partnership with a great partnership with a lot of that was working well
08:09italiano close down by luna goes back for garia
08:18australia ranked 25th for as low as 100 in 2014
08:26and that was after hitting their highest rank ever in 2009 when they got to 14th in the world
08:32o'neil was the player there that was down
08:38join new york city fc in april after two years in belgium with standard liege
08:42hayden o'neil 27 year old midfielder who started the game tonight for australia
08:47this is boss who gave him the lead 19 minutes in
08:54that's back across the back
08:55what about jucati garia with the highball or stick will chase trying to get around the back of mackenzie
09:08australia wanted a free kick
09:11it looked like he just felt a slight bit of contact and decided to go down
09:14here's a look at it
09:26first of the player coming forward when the europa league in 2022 with eintracht frankfurt
09:31a little bit there but i think the referee sees that not enough i mean the referee's assistant was
09:39right there about 20 yards away and stepped with them
09:43mackenzie
09:54now richards
10:01this is testman who couldn't quite get that one past boss and irankunda now for australia
10:06testman trying to recover rolled down chasing as well as irankunda plays it forward for motore
10:11turret towards the byline gets that one in towards the edge of the box and kenny will be able to
10:15clear away here he's under pressure from boss who wins it back well
10:21o'neil right at the midway mark in the second half here in commerce city colorado garia
10:32rancunda turning
10:34he ran straight into testman there and a free kick has been given by
10:39referee quincy williams
10:51so with hadji right leaving the game we'll probably have to wait a little longer for the
10:55first us hat trick since jesus ferreira in the 2023 gold cup against trinidad and tobago
11:01but a job well done by hadji right tonight
11:10and really the last two games from the central striker we've seen balagan and hadji right both
11:14turn up big time yeah very positive very positive
11:19was strong off the left we talked about him finding his role in this team as a wingback i thought he was good today
11:28chips this one in towards the back post purchase trying to get there but it'll run out of play for
11:32a goal kick
11:36australia's only ever win against the us was all the way back in june of 1992 a friendly in orlando that
11:43finished one nil for australia first ever meeting between these two teams
11:57he's lost a little bit of the flow with all of the changes made by both sides
12:05we'll stick forward mckinney
12:11it's just been so good again there's so many other things that's not showing up i mean
12:15communication pressing the ball even when it doesn't get the ball just closing down the right
12:19passing lanes forward towards balagan down the left side up against garrier
12:24freeman charging into the box on the right but this is a short one back for luna
12:28luna towards roldan roldan does now look for freeman but that one will
12:33roll out of play for an australia throw
12:37i think the good part about you know richards and weston mckinney that have been very vocal all game
12:42long i mean even at the start of the second half i watched weston mckinney talking to
12:46players he talked to the subs that were coming on it's been contagious it's
12:49you know it's it's leaking around the team that other players are joining on and
12:54almost a network effect of passing on communication really strong and you just look over and even if
13:01the message isn't it is it to you it just it just it alerts your senses you know that someone's trying
13:06to organize things so you got to pay attention to make sure that that communication isn't to you and
13:10check out where you fit in and that spatial awareness of closing the ball down and
13:15lessons been a lot of it richards helps it back towards matt freeze
13:24and it goes out of play here for a throw for australia
13:35they've only lost once in their last 17 matches australia but they trail here as we head towards the
13:40final 20 minutes in commerce city colorado i mentioned earlier tonight that mauricio pochettino
13:46was here once before the 2015 mls all-star game he brought his spurs side in to play the all-stars and
13:52when we chatted with mauricio pochettino yesterday he looked across the table at demarcus beasley and
13:57said you played in that game we beat you and these didn't say anything at the time but i just went on my
14:04phone to look up and see what happened in that game turns out that mauricio pochettino and spurs had actually
14:09lost 2-1 to the mls all-stars but mauricio pochettino was trying to tell the story that they won the
14:15game i'm not sure what bees thought at the time but actually it was a win for the all-stars harry
14:21kane had pulled one back after kaka scored a penalty and david via got a goal as well and mauricio
14:27pochettino said yeah but we played the kids and i looked at the lineup and i showed him and he's like
14:32okay yeah but we trained in the morning of the game the upside flag is up here so he was trying to make a
14:37few excuses as to why that they didn't win that game
14:43peace was probably just cold in the middle of june or july
14:49testament in here with the challenge picked up by roldan
14:53well down superb tonight couldn't quite get that one through to mckinney this is a really important
15:08time mark here the management of this game australia a couple fresh subs they're very dangerous
15:14especially in transition good set pieces and seeing this game now is an important step in the maturity of
15:20the team there's a couple tired legs that's now been a few yeah missed passes i mean this is when
15:26players got to take take charge start to figure out how do you manage this game out you've done
15:31enough to win it don't have to go get the third they've done well most of the game possessing the
15:35ball they've been good in transition they just don't let tired legs and momentary lapse of reasons
15:41reason take away what's been a really good performance and tony popovich for australia bringing
15:47on four players that started in the game on friday night
15:53lucio pochettino going to his bench with the introduction of balogun
15:59who has scored in back-to-back games now for the united states getting that goal in
16:04september against japan and columbus then the equalizer late against ecuador and austin
16:09he's got testament now inside alongside christian roldan in the midfield
16:19led into the middle and it's a chance for toure here on the edge of the box tried to find her stick but
16:23look at who it is there getting back christian roldan alert to the danger breaking up the play and
16:28forward towards balogun who climbs
16:33o'neil
16:38aiden o'neil forward down the right for christic
16:50iran kunda racing away down the left side as freeman tries to get back iran kunda with the first time

17:10carrier will just let it roll out of play aiden morris is coming in also go to see max arfston very shortly
17:25this is boss
17:41kenny and roldan the two players that will be leaving the game
17:55and roldan
17:5816 minutes remaining as the ball comes back towards freeze
18:05you can see australia they're just falling as they see the clock take it away into a little higher
18:11first line of confrontation they're going to start to take more and more chances
18:15this is very important the u.s are just sound with the ball and don't take those risky chances but you
18:21do want to see them be as confident and play through the back as they did before but this is
18:25where you really got to think through risk management
18:27balligan putting the pressure on us matt ryan is able to get that one away
18:39brought forward away from the area by chukati all the way for jordan boss down the left side
18:45trying to cut inside on freeman boss sees the way open up in front of him here he's got to the left
18:50boss driving all the way towards the penalty area in the end it was brandon aronson getting back to get
18:55the block in aronson wasn't in the september squad called back for october and gets the chance to come on
19:02here for his 54th cap brendan aronson appearing in five of six games at the goal cut this summer
19:13leads have made a decent start four points above the relegation zone right now
19:20huge game for aronson when they go back to action at the weekend against burnley
19:26and roldan leaves the game morris comes in a word about christian roldan tonight he was great he got a big
19:31out from pochettino right down below us it was it was spirited it felt like another leader on the
19:38field it was consistent he was good with the ball obviously got his assist you know just complete
19:43performance and you know weston mckinney as well i don't want to say it's a change there's just this
19:49slight shift in weston mckinney lately i mean he always has that joy that spirit that playfulness but
19:54there's a seriousness about him i feel like this camp that his performance was just business it was all
20:03business and he performed excellent in the first game and then backed it up with another wonderful
20:08performance today really good out on the field today a lot of performances that everyone that's come off
20:14yeah they've got to be proud about what they've done and now these players that have come on can they
20:17see this game out it's got a big champions league game coming up a week tomorrow western mckinney with

20:58with blackburn after three years with hibernian in scotland
21:03and it's jacob italiano who leaves the game after starting back-to-back caps
21:08in this window his first two appearances for the national team
21:23in from bruce dick and the header goes straight towards matt freeze here's melissa ortiz
21:30kyle and luke you guys were talking about weston mckinney and the other day at the presser
21:35he had that serious face usually he's bubbly we know him like that and i went up to him afterwards
21:40i said hey everything all right was it a question asked he goes no melissa you know what i'm just in
21:45my element and you could certainly see it in his game as well
21:52brendan aronson with space here to play it out to the right for robinson
21:57us 12 minutes to go holding on to this 2-1 lead as freeman picks it up here
22:02inside towards tanner testament
22:06morris forward morris is a good player to have in this moment bring him in at this
22:13scorer line with this much time left very tidy with the ball
22:22testament
22:22miles robinson down the right side gets it back from freeman here
22:30luna lovely little flip from luna in towards aronson
22:35aronson for luna big save from ryan wonderful flying football from the united states
22:42and the danger still there morris and testament both trying to squeeze that ball through but it didn't
22:46quite fall
22:50ryan at point-blank range denying the u.s a third
22:53you get the sense they're enjoying themselves out there right now kyle that was an excellent sequence
23:02a beautiful movement on and off the wall yeah luna can't believe it but here it is again
23:06let's watch this aronson lovely pushing here as this ball comes in comes in at a tough height
23:11and he pushes it in that first time ball in the back
23:14getting fun right to watch him wait for that little nutmeg pass what a ball from this excellent excellent
23:19ball just a couple fakes it almost gets the defender to just bait a little more and open those legs
23:23puts it right in front of luna or been a beautiful goal
23:26gary a forward straight towards matt freeze
23:41freeze up against his new york city fc teammate aiden o'neill tonight they'll head back to
23:46new york where they'll place the athlon decision day fighting for a top four finish
23:51aronson's pull through finds luna he was always pulling that one wide but once again aronson heavily
24:00involved
24:10well here's a look that starts with luna playing between the lines it just continues his run it
24:13just puts a little angle on it you can see the space that aronson finds him in and back in front
24:18takes the defender away that first touch is just between the stance of luna big challenge here freeman
24:26and boss colliding
24:32inside the final 10 minutes
24:33there's a look at it you can see just the speed that they hit i mean they both got it bad but
24:51boss it looked like immediately grabbed his head he was just a little lower as freeman
24:56got into the air first and plowed through him that's not a set you want to see for either players
25:03and so two one with eight minutes left to play here two goals from hadji right
25:30hadji right getting the start tonight for the united states scores his sixth and seventh international
25:37goals cap number 19. boss seems to be okay and that freeman's sitting up now as well
25:44alex freeman starting for the u.s the orlando man just 21 years old
25:56boss opened the scoring in the 19th minute for australia
26:14was his second international goal
26:26so freeman gets a round of applause as he gets back to his feet as the australian medical staff
26:39still 10 to jordan boss
26:55seven minutes left to play here in commerce city colorado hadji right is our american airlines coast
27:01to coast performer wonderful run here and just realizing he's got to hit this first time it's in an
27:06awkward position goes with the toe book there's another look at it
27:11the first time he's left and he tracks it definitely the defenders there to block a beautiful finish
27:15and then just switched on here the the arc of that all the spin puts it right into his lap
27:21beautiful deceptive cut and just a fluid curling left-footed shot right after that cut puts the defender
27:28on his backside what a performance
27:34in the back of that
27:41freeman with a word with marizzo pochettino will be okay to continue
27:47and it goes all the way back to ryan
27:51and uh balagan just getting tangled up on the edge of the penalty area there
27:55and uh balagan back to his feet
28:08and see what happened there when i turned over and saw balagan hit in the ground
28:21the way for the replay to see what happens you can see both both players
28:28getting a little bit of an arm tussle
28:31hard to tell i mean balagan trying to slap out at the arm
28:35got to be careful with that especially when your hand's in a high position
28:49ballagan with seven goals in 20 caps started both champions league games with monaco they
28:57lost at bruges they tied manchester city in the week before the international break
29:022-2 draw for monaco against city
29:08harlem getting manchester city the lead twice
29:10so we're inside the final five minutes but there will probably be at least five to be added on as
29:23well it hasn't been much action in the last six or seven minutes with the treatment that has been going
29:28on another foul on balagan who was brought down just outside the area there
29:39but the united states still leading thanks to haji wright's double
29:43would be the first time if they can hang on to this that they have come from behind
29:48to win having conceded the first goal under mauricio pochettino here's luna
29:53halfston all the way across halfway here for freeman
30:05aronson turns in a tight space and rolls it back towards chris richards final change
