USMNT 1- Wales 1, 2022 World Cup group B

The USMNT opened World Cup group B play drawing 1-1 with Wales at Al Rayyan Stadium. Tim Weah scored the game’s opening goal in the 36th minute with Christian Pulisic assisting. Wales equalized from the penalty spot with Gareth Bale converting in the 82nd minute.

I think we lost a little but of power, USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter told FOX. “But in the same sense, Wales stepped up their pressure and we had some good counterattacking opportunities. I thought the guys dealt with it well, We kept going to the end. It was a hard-fought game. We left everything out there.”

In the other group B game, England beat Iran 6-2 earlier on Monday. Jude Bellingham put England up in the 35th with Bukayo Saka doubling the lead in the 43rd. Raheem Sterling made it 3-0 England a minute into first-half stoppage time with Saka scoring again in the 62nd. Iran’s Mehdi Taremi pulled a goal back in the 65th. England’s Marcus Rashford scored in the 71st and Jack Grealish made it 6-1 in the 90th. Taremi converted an Iran penalty 13 minutes into stoppage time.
