The USMNT took an early lead in St Gallen, but it was Switzerland picking up a friendly win on Sunday with a 2-1 result. Sebastian Lletget continued his run of form with the National Team, opening the scoring in the 5th minute. Switzerland had a chance to go ahead from the penalty spot in the 42nd after a Sergino Dest hand ball but failed to convert. Steven Zuber put Switzerland up for good with a 63rd minute goal.
For the USMNT, it’s a quick turnaround to get to Denver for the Concacaf Nations League. They play Honduras on Thursday at Empower Field for a spot in the final. Christian Pulisic and Zack Steffen join the squad after finishing their club season on Saturday in the Champions League final.
