  • He struggled to get into the match in the first half, with the U.S. building so much through the right.
  • In his first start of the tournament, Musah barely touched the ball and was subbed out for an attacker in the 72nd minute.
  • So much of the attacking play went through Pulisic, and he made plenty of smart runs. His touch betrayed him, though.
