The United States played out a scoreless draw with Uruguay in Kansas City on Sunday in a game available on national television on FOX. USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter started Sean Johnson in goal, with the US defense coming up big shutting down Uruguay in the box. For a game with no goals, both teams pressed and created opportunities that on other days would likely have opened the scoring. The United States now shifts focus from friendlies to the Nations League. They open group play on Friday against Grenada at Q2 Stadium (10pm ET – ESPN+).
