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.”
