USA vs. Chile, 2019 friendly: SSFC Man of the Match

The United States Men’s National Team drew Chile 1-1 Tuesday night in Houston, a match that an opponent score for the first time in the Gregg Berhalter era. A 4th minute goal by Christian Pulisic started the scoring, but a 9th minute equalizer by Oscar Opazo created the 1-1 deadlock that would stand the rest of the match.

He was the only player to register a rating above 7 and is the SSFC Man of the Match.
