00:00Hi Volkswagen, there are just six games remaining for the US men's national team before the World Cup gets under
00:06already securing their spots in next Paraguay team that is also bound for the world's biggest stage next summer. There
00:14are still opportunity subjects coming into this window having tied against Ecuador and beaten Australia last month.
00:21So we're underway here on the banks of the Delaware River and Brendan Aronson with early possession for the US.
00:29And a battle on halfway as it's played forward there by Gustavo Gomez, the captain, who is a heart in
00:36the back line here for Paraguay. They've only won one of their last five matches. That was in World Cup
00:43qualifying the second game of the September window.
00:45Sarfston, a player that has really forced himself into Maurizio Pochettino's thinking this year.
00:54He made his debut against Venezuela in January. Here's the ball swung in towards the six-yard box. Drops down
01:01here on the edge of the box for Dest.
01:05And now driven in from the edge of the area. No way through there after a roll-down strike. He'll
01:09get another chance here out to the far side.
01:13And then the cross in. Reina gets the flick on. It's enough. The crossbar.
01:20Gio Reina with a goal. He makes his mark inside. Four minutes on his first start since Coppa America.
01:37Just a few opportunities here at Paraguay. Just struggling to clear their lines. I just love this.
01:41Little step over here. Hesitation on the right foot. Just throws it up. And Gio Reina, so many blue jerseys
01:49around him.
01:49Just takes a look over his shoulder. It just gets clocked between three players. No one picks him up.
01:53That beautiful header. It just directs it. There's plenty of pace on the curled ball in from Arshton.
01:58You can see him. He just knows he's got a nodded towards the goal.
02:01It's the top of the crossbar. And right here, nothing Phil can do about it.
02:08Good from the U.S. here. I mean, one of the characteristics we've seen consistently in the last couple of
02:13camps is intensity to press the ball at times.
02:17White to Almiron down the left side. The first time. Ball into the box. He's headed in for the leveling
02:21goal.
02:24Alex Arshton has it. And it is all tied up here inside ten minutes.
02:48And just as I'm saying it, without intensity, he'll press the ball. He gets no pressure on the ball. He's
02:53onside. You can see the cut of the grass.
02:56And with no pressure on the ball, Almiron and his speed gets in behind on that.
03:01Wingbacks in high positions. And you're giving up a lot of real estate in those wide areas in transition.
03:06You've got to press the ball immediately when you turn it over.
03:08Dest running at Riveros. Positive play from Sertini Odessa as he drives to the pile.
03:12And it's Roldan! Comes back out. Balligan couldn't get there. And the keeper will pounce.
03:21Christian Roldan with a strike as he looks for a first international goal.
03:24You can see what he's trying to do. I mean, this is a beautiful cutback.
03:28And Gio Ray wants it. It's the perfect.
03:31Played forward down the right side. It's a good ball. And it's a chance for Arshton to race onto it
03:35here.
03:37He's going to take something special from that angle. But it's taken a deflection behind.
03:43That's a perfect example of what Robinson is. He's in the right spot.
03:47Cuba and Canada in the Nations League.
03:50Testman. Wide to the right here for Dest. He's got support from Scali on the overlap here as it comes
03:54towards the byline.
03:55The challenge coming in there from the left-back Riveros.
03:59And Sisko going chasing.
04:01And Sisko will pick it up here.
04:05And the Premier League attacker now. Another one. Miguel Almiron foul just on halfway.
04:10And I think a yellow card is coming out here.
04:13First of the game and it goes towards Miles Robinson.
04:21Doesn't get a lot of contact with just the attempt to trip.
04:24After coming off the bench for the first three games for Leeds.
04:32And confirmation coming that Gio Rayna's yellow card was for descent.
04:35And that was a shove in the back of Arshton there.
04:37That must be a yellow.
04:38It is.
04:40Yellow towards Diego Gonzalez, the Atlas man.
04:44Third cap for the 20th's debut here in this stadium in April of 2019 in a win against Montreal.
04:50Made the move to New York in January of 2023.
04:55Rayna gliding forward once more.
04:56Finds Dest. He's got Balogun in the middle.
04:58Arshton at the back post.
04:59Dest drives it in.
05:02It's out for a corner.
05:05Now we've seen him do that.
05:07I mean, he's very comfortable going in on that left foot.
05:09You've seen him score some nice goals doing so.
05:11He's just got to wait a little bit long for this ball.
05:14You can see he's just backpedaling slightly, but plenty of room.
05:30Rolldown tries to make the challenge.
05:32Balogun.
05:33Balogun into the path of Gio Rayna.
05:35It's Gio Rayna across goal.
05:37Balogun!
05:41Inside the final 20 minutes, it's another goal for Balogun.
05:46And the score at the first.
05:49Gio Rayna turns provider for the second.
05:52The United States are back in front.
06:00Balogun scores on his third start in a row.
06:04Just watch this relentless pressure.
06:07Doesn't give up there.
06:07I mean, continue to just be a little bit of a pest.
06:10And hold on.
06:11He gets the turnover.
06:13A lovely little skill there for Balogun.
06:15Of course, it deflects right in the path of him.
06:17He's been in that position endless times.
06:20I mean, beautiful little skill to set up Gio Rayna.
06:22You can see Rayna's trying to finally involve.
06:25Oh, you would.
06:26I want the assist.
06:28Give him the assist.
06:29Tessman's ball back here down the right side.
06:31And this is Gio Rayna.
06:33Helps it forward for Aronson.
06:37Aronson coming inside one way to the other.
06:40Balogun wants it played early.
06:42Couldn't quite get the ball across first time.
06:44Comes back to Balogun again.
06:45Balogun drives it wide.
06:50Oh, Gio Rayna.
06:52So poking that ball away.
06:54Just the amount of tiny details.
06:58I mean, something as small as this.
06:59It's just the commitment.
07:01From the first.
07:02Aronson looking for a leveling goal once again here.
07:06Had a 2-2 tie in the October window against Japan.
07:09Comes out towards Amorov.
07:11Some distance and freeze has to tip it over.
07:14That had some swerve on it, didn't it?
07:15From Miguel Amorov.
07:21Referee almost gets an assist here.
07:24Yeah, I don't know.
07:25I mean, just...
07:26This thing is moving.
07:27You could see it right at the last minute.
07:29Just changed direct.
07:32Ojeda.
07:36Riveros.
07:38And Tillman's won it back.
07:40He's got Luna to the left.
07:41And Diego Luna might be in here.
07:42Pepe is in the middle.
07:44Luna might want to go all the way himself.
07:45It's Diego Luna the substitute.
07:47Across goal.
07:48It's Ricardo Pepe.
07:49He's denied.
07:56We talked before about Pepe's impact off the bench.
07:59And he had a golden opportunity to get another goal as a substitute.
08:04A lovely step over here from...
08:06Here's Gomez.
08:08Heading towards four minutes of time that will be added on at the end of this game as Amorov plays
08:12it back inside.
08:15Neat play between Amorov and Riveros down the left.
08:18Morris shoulder to shoulder as Riveros comes inside.
08:21He's done really well.
08:23Blast Riveros.
08:23Triggered across goal.
08:25Unfortunately for the United...
08:27I mean, how about this skill?
08:29Ooh.
08:31Lovely little nut back there.
08:34At this point, he just hammers it across the box.
08:37And that can deflect and go anywhere.
08:39Nothing Freese can do about it.
08:41The U.S. goal.
08:43Sosa with the corner.
08:44Cleared away by Berhalter.
08:45Back in from Almoron.
08:51Eyeball into the box.
08:52Flicked away by Miles Robinson.
08:53Tillman gets ahead to it as well.
08:54Drops for Ojeda.
08:58And Diego Luna picks it up.
09:00And the U.S. just couldn't quite get away there.
09:02But Luna will still chase against Alonso.
09:11Out of play it goes.
09:16Referee might as well blow the whistle here and just end this at the moment.
09:202-1 for the U.S.
09:21As Berhalter plays it through.
09:23It's a chance for Pepe.
09:24Wide for Diego Luna.
09:25Can they finish it here?
09:27There go Luna in the battle there with a challenge from Caceres.
09:30Maybe still another minute of time to be played.
09:32Or maybe that's it.
09:34It is full time here in Chester, Pennsylvania.
09:37And it's a win for the United States by two goals to one.
09:42Window.
09:43U.S. soccer on TNT is...
09:45There you go on.
09:46Lots of 됩니다.
