USMNT 1 – Uruguay 1
The USMNT closed out the 2019 September international window with a 1-1 draw with Uruguay at Busch Stadium in St Louis. Brian Rodriguez scored for Uruguay in the 50th minute. Jordan Morris equalized in the 79th. The USMNT returns to action in October with games against Cuba on the 11th and at Canada on the 15th.
USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter allowed several players to return to their club teams following Friday’s loss to Mexico, requiring changes to his lineup. That included Morris getting the start alongside Josh Sargent. It was Sargent arguing for a handball in the box late in the first-half, but without instant replay the no call stood. Paxton Pomykal made his debut for the USMNT, subbing on in the 85th minute.
“For me it was a long year last year, coming off the knee injury,” Morris told FS1’s Rob Stone. “So to get back on the score sheet feels amazing, but it’s just an honor to be on this team. To be on the field, fighting with my brothers, it’s a great team.”
