00:00...on home soil for the first time in 32 years.
00:25Ready, it is finally time for the US to have their say.
00:28Front, Sanabria, he will play as that point person in his World Cup debut.
00:34Five starters for the US.
00:35Started the minute the 1994 World Cup ended.
00:38A smashing success both on and off the field.
00:45Lead out in the field for Paraguay.
00:47And the other, Almarone, was the target.
00:49Serginio tests.
00:50And now he was, in fact, offside.
00:53So that's the semi-automated offside technology.
00:56McKennie's going to get on the end of that one.
00:57Knots it in for a battle.
00:58Get out of control.
01:00It's right to the goalkeeper, Orlando Hill.
01:02But a good early attacking for McKennie.
01:04Trying to be elusive for the midfield, too.
01:09Alonzo lobs it forward.
01:10Reef threw it.
01:11CISO coming in off an injury a week ago.
01:13Cross in.
01:13Richards is there in time.
01:18Last out of Cosseris for a US throw.
01:20Good clearance.
01:20But that's the day.
01:21Pulisic in the box.
01:22Wilson McKennie into the middle.
01:24It's a down goal.
01:25It's the United States on the board.
01:28Less than seven minutes in.
01:35Goal for the US game.
01:41Anthony Robinson for Pulisic.
01:43Again for Kumpel.
01:44Again, skips away.
01:45He's tripped up.
01:45And let's see what Danny Markley decides to do.
01:47Is he going to go early for a yellow card?
01:49There he is.
01:50Juan Jose Cosser.
01:51A touch to create the space.
01:52Hooks it into the middle.
01:53Bodies crashing.
01:54Pumped up with Mexico.
01:55And we saw it with Canada.
01:57The other way.
01:58The airport.
01:58Pulisic.
01:59Balligan.
02:00Waiting for support.
02:01Early cross.
02:02This field right now.
02:03Weston McKennie.
02:03Early cross.
02:06Tillman.
02:08And right into traffic.
02:09It's going to be a foul, though.
02:10That was Bobadia.
02:12Who met Tillman.
02:13And Tillman is...
02:14They said, if you're going to sit back,
02:16we're going to play with numbers in the attack.
02:18Can't be a missy.
02:20Pulisic flips it forward.
02:21So, they're backing off him at least at first on the deck.
02:24Well wide of Matt Freese's goal.
02:27He felt like he took a touch as he got that shot off.
02:31End up winning this.
02:32Just swinging a miss.
02:33Trying to clear.
02:34Almiron draws the contact.
02:36Told to get up by the referee.
02:38Brings it down.
02:39Robinson.
02:40Great spot.
02:41Richards.
02:42That'll come off a defender.
02:43It's going to be a foul.
02:45And now concern as Richards is down.
02:48Alderete.
02:49Call from Allegan.
02:50Here's Serginio.
02:51Daz cuts it back in the middle.
02:53It'll end up out for a corner.
02:59Just all kinds of movement.
03:01Now a chance for Paraguay to get across into the penalty.
03:04A block.
03:05Tillman.
03:05Great flick.
03:06McKinney.
03:06Couldn't do much with it.
03:08And a typical kick.
03:09Tillman sees US have good possession.
03:11We've got good cover defensive.
03:12Tillman.
03:14That was just enough there by Alonso.
03:16Now on Caceres.
03:17Overhits the cross.
03:19First touch.
03:21Still Adams.
03:22Banigan tight end.
03:23It's in.
03:27Flow balance.
03:28Lay in the call.
03:29That is actually the system working.
03:31Go on the run.
03:32Pulisic trying to cut it back.
03:34And Banigan.
03:34That time it's in.
03:36That time the flag is staying down.
03:38That time it's 2-0 United States.
03:40U.S.
03:45Goal!
03:54McKinney popping up on the left this time.
03:56The top for Weston McKinney.
03:58Early in.
03:58Doesn't find Dest.
04:00Maleroy.
04:00Serginio Dest dancing his way through.
04:02Tripped up.
04:03Clipping in advance.
04:03It's out.
04:04A little pump fake.
04:05Tillman.
04:06Trying to find out.
04:07Dest hooks it in.
04:10He threw a shot.
04:11A little cut back.
04:11Into the middle.
04:12Banigan!
04:13And it was just on the deck.
04:15Stabbed away.
04:16Only as far as Malik.
04:17Tillman blocks.
04:18And that'll spin it behind for U.S.
04:20Court.
04:20It's a Pulisic.
04:21He's attracting two defenders every time.
04:23Here comes a crunch.
04:24It's fine.
04:25Swings in the corner.
04:26Richards!
04:27Just wide.
04:31So this time everybody's at the back post.
04:33They free up and ring.
04:34He drags a defender with him.
04:40It's going to pull back for a foul.
04:42Float back.
04:42Freeze clips it long.
04:45So the resilience can all.
04:46Test trying to get around the corner.
04:48Also he does.
04:49And he even sees so now.
04:51It's a great tackle by Freeman.
04:53Our teammate for the next month and a half.
04:56And Pulisic there is going to commit that foul.
04:59Weston McKinney who cuts it back into the traffic.
05:02Tillman!
05:03Adams gets nutmegged with the pass.
05:05Richards quickly up the field.
05:06Fox at midnight.
05:07Local time.
05:08Robinson.
05:09Too far for that.
05:10Doesn't have a cutback support.
05:12Ends up having his pocket pick by Andres.
05:13Get inside.
05:15Still Balligan.
05:16Float Balligan!
05:29Balligan!
05:30Naturalized Paraguayan is on.
05:32Second half under.
05:33Pleased with the way we're performing.
05:35We answer.
05:36We're finding spin.
05:36Get there.
05:37Adams did not fully clear.
05:38Not me wrong.
05:39Blocked by his own.
05:40Gustavo or Diego Gomez in can't.
05:42Gomez now losing his angle.
05:43Deflected shot.
05:45That's going to end about for a quarter.
05:46That's a great example of how quickly you're back on.
05:50Skip away there.
05:50Shot through traffic.
05:51Knocked down.
05:52First to react.
05:53Looking on Tim Ream.
05:55Ream couldn't get anything on that one.
05:58Decision on the field.
05:59It's going to be a free kick.
06:02Harbaugh.
06:02Better popped in the air.
06:03Freeze thought about coming for it.
06:05Before this tournament.
06:07Did this player Almaroff?
06:08Reviewed and taken away.
06:10Going a long, long way back.
06:12It was a risky challenge there.
06:15Referee had a very good view of it.
06:25Tillman down off the chest.
06:28And all the technical talent on display for USA.
06:32Tillman for support.
06:33Into the medal.
06:34Sebastian Berhalter.
06:35Not going to be a test.
06:36Brings it down.
06:37Test will be going to cut it back.
06:38Into the medal.
06:39Tillman trying to clear the rebound.
06:41Can't do so.
06:42And it's going to be blasted in the stands in the end.
06:45Alex Freeman remains down.
06:47On the other side of the field.
06:48Yeah, this would have been interesting.
06:49On a set and see so on his way.
06:51Chris Richards across.
06:52Plays safe.
06:53Tackles it out.
06:54To the byline.
06:55On the deck.
06:56We're stuck for Paraguay.
06:58Adams wins the header.
06:59Back in the middle of the field.
07:00I'm trying to get there.
07:02And see so far.
07:03Mauricio scores!
07:06And Paraguay are able to chip away.
07:09They are able to create some doubt.
07:12It's the Brazilian board.
07:14Bar de Yellow.
07:15Tillman cuts inside of him.
07:16Trying to slip it through.
07:17Too far for him.
07:17Riccardo Pepe.
07:19Malik Tillman!
07:21Saved!
07:22Put it right.
07:22By Tillman off the chest there.
07:24And then he gets kind of rolled up from behind.
07:27That's going to be a free kick for the U.S.
07:30Left in his legs right now.
07:31Can he just draw a foul maybe?
07:32And he does.
07:35And he does.
08:02And then Cisaw draws the contestant.
08:04And Cisaw hooks it in.
08:06Richard's got a piece of it.
08:08Popped in the air.
08:09Adams wins the crucial.
08:10I will see.
08:10And he does.
08:10And he has a free kick.
