USMNT Match Reports

USMNT 1 – Germany 3, international friendly

The USMNT opened the October 2023 international window with a 3-1 loss to Germany at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut. Christian Pulisic put the US up in the 27th minute with Folarin Balogun assisting. Ilkay Gundogan equalized for Germany in the 39th, Niclas Fullkrug scored in the 58th, and Jamal Musiala extended the lead in the 61st minute. The United States plays Ghana on Tuesday in Nashville to close out the October window.

We had a great start to the game, I think the energy levels were high,” USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie told TNT. “We came out in the second-half… I’m sure they went inside and saw how they could hurt us. I think the pressing in the second-half for us, we kind of got a little bit disorganized. A player like Gundogan, if you leave him a little space, he punishes you and that’s what he was doing. He was building up and made it very difficult for us. I feel like we couldn’t really get close, and we were just defending in our box the whole time.”
