USMNT 1 – Bosnia and Herzegovina 0

December 18, 2021 by US Soccer Players

usmnt-lineup-december-2021-friendly

The United States shutout Bosnia and Herzegovina 1-0 in an out-of-window friendly in Carson, California. Playing a man up from a 40th minute red card to Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Amar Begic in the 40th minute, Cole Bassett scored in the 89th minute. Bassett subbed on in the 78th minute in his first cap with the senior squad. USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner made three saves to keep the clean sheet.

“It was a difficult game, it really was,” USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter told the FS1 studio crew. “Bosnia, very physical, very compact. When they went a man down, the 5-3-1 was very difficult to break down. I think, in the end it would have to be the perseverance of the group to keep going and get a late goal.”

US Soccer also announced on Saturday that Christian Pulisic is the 2021 Male Player of the Year and Ricardo Pepi is the Young Male Player of the Year. Pulisic is a three-time winner of the award.
