Player Ratings

Starting 11

Turner: 8 – Made 4 saves and made the box his.

Robinson: 7.5 –Not much got past him on the left side and had a timely clearance on a play that would’ve probably ended in a goal by Canada.

Richards: 8 – Great headed goal and almost got himself a second that hit the post.

Zimmerman: 7.5 – Was great in the air and had a good effort on a volley in the first half.

Scally: 7– Had a tougher time in the second half but held his own. Made Davies switch sides in the first half. Enough said.

Musah: 8 – Stable force in the USA midfield. Had some important defensive clearances and recoveries.

Aaronson: 6.5 – Didn’t stand out much or get many touches, but he was quite stable in the midfield.

Reyna: 9 – Best player on the pitch for USA. He served up a peach of a ball on the corner and had a lovely assist to Balogun. Unfortunate that he went off injured.

Pulisic: 8 – Was very active and had some good dribbles. Unfortunate that he wasn’t able to get an assist or get on the scoresheet

Balogun: 8 – Made some fantastic runs in behind and deservedly got himself on the scoresheet. He’s had two great games to start his international career.

Weah: 7 – Had a good run in the first half and did some good work defensively when the pressure was on by Canada in the second half.

SUBS
