Homecoming
The match tonight is special for a few players for the USMNT. Tim Ream and Josh Sargent are products of U.S. Soccer Development Academy youth club St. Louis Scott Gallagher. Ream also played for St. Louis University collegiately before enduring an 11-year career as a constant starter on the backline for Fulham FC.
USMNT v Uruguay
This is the seventh time that Uruguay will meet the USMNT, following a 2-1 win over Costa Rica this past Friday. Giorgian De Arrascaeta -- Flemengo midfielder -- put Uruguay in front with a penalty kick. Jonathan Rodriguez got the go-ahead goal late in the second half to give La Celeste the victory.
Looking back
Looking back at the 3-0 loss to Mexico, star-forward Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez opened the scoring in the 21st minute. Erik Gutierrez and Uriel Antuna sealed the deal with goals four minutes apart in the second half to put the final nail in the coffin. Josh Sargent had the chance to erase the clean sheet with a penalty kick that was eventually saved. At 24 years, 150 days, the USMNT starting XI was the youngest put out by head coach Gregg Berhalter in 2019.
