By the bands, Cristian Pulisic and Timothy Weah did a lot damage to the line of three head offices of Wales and the forward of the Lille put to the ones of Gregg Berhalter in advantage after culminating a big played collective in the minute 36.
Pulisic Broke the Welsh saga with a pass filtered and Weah defined with the tip of the booty in front of the exit of Wayne Hennessey. The so much did that Rob Page sent to Kieffer Moore in place of Daniel James after the rest and the 'red dragons' reacted in the second part. The American command went dissipating with the happen of the minutes and the unemployed ball began to hurt him to the North American.
Ben Davies and Kieffer Moore warned with two clear actions, this last cabeceando high point-blank a balloon that seemed goal sung. In the 82', Bleat controlled a balloon in the area and Walker Zimmerman demolished him in his eagerness for avoiding the finish of the captain. The '11' took the balloon and fusiló to Matt Turner with a powerful finish crusader that did useless the pulled of the goalkeeper. In the final stretch, Wales was more, but the tie finish being just.
