USA vs Uruguay - Full Match Highlights & Goals | FIFA International Friendly | November 18, 202

The U.S. Soccer Impact Match on TNT is presented by New York Life. We are at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay for the final U.S. Men's National Team game of 2025. Uruguay providing the opposition with just five games now remaining until the World Cup. And midfield, certainly one area where there are still plenty of players playing for a World Cup spot. Yeah, and really interesting. You could just see a moment there. I mean, he took over the talk for a second, you know, being vocal. And I just think this is an excellent opportunity for this player in the form he's in, the trust that Pochettino has in him. You know, Testman played really well last game. Can he make a statement here? Can he match the intensity and lead and climb up the depth chart to become someone in Penn that Pochettino wants to take to the World Cup next year? And he was one of the first ones into the scrum right at the end of the game as well to stand up for his teammates in that win against Paraguay at the weekend. But we are underway here in Tampa Bay. The next time the U.S. Men's National Team takes to the field, it will be March. It will be a World Cup year. How will they finish 2025 as they face another team that has already qualified? Maybe just a little bit, but it might have made a difference here. What a way to get your first international goal! Berhalter across to take this. Heavily involved in the opening 20 minutes. It's been a great start for the United States. It's another goal! His first international goal as well. What a phenomenal ball this is from Berhalter. A lot of times people say, you know, how can you not beat the first man? And one of the reasons is you're trying to find this tiny little window at pace, at the right height, right above that first man. And Berhalter finds it perfectly. And Freeman, you can see, he tracks the ball the whole way and just guides it. Watching it right onto his forehead. Watching it right into the side netting. Jermarine can't even move. Nothing he can do about that one. Doesn't even get an arm close to it. What a wonderful set piece. Excellent header. And a great start for the U.S. And that's now three goals off set pieces in this window. There was only one spot that Alex Freeman could have put that probably to score from that angle and that position back across the keeper. And he did it to perfection. 24 minutes into this one, but great start. Scherter will take it. The right foot outswing it in towards the back post. Blocked there by Serginio Dest. And now here come the United States once again. Out wide to Luna on the left side. He's got Haji Wright ahead. Diego Luna driving forward. And he goes down. To be fair to Diego Luna, he didn't ask for the penalty. Berhalter, though, tries to get through a couple of challenges. It's Aiden Morris! It's saved by Jermarine. Haji Wright will keep it in play. And out it goes for a corner. It is non-stop all action here from the U.S. men's national team. What a save from Jermarine. Watch how quickly, I mean not that quickly, but watch how quickly he gets down. I mean, he sees this late. I mean, this is perfectly hit from Morris. Tolkien swings it towards the front post where Salazar will head away. It's Aiden Morris. The middle's for Matt. Tillman down the left side. Berhalter. Strong challenge there from Tillman. And here's Freeman in round the back. The right opens up for Adams! By just a clenching tackle. He just watched this lovely footwork. Excellent skill and balance. You know, he gets a slight bit of deflection at the end. But just as the ball comes forward. Just love it. Little feint. Lovely footwork. But just excellent control in tight spaces at top speed. You know, the deflection is what lifts it up over the goalkeeper. But this is tough at top speed to just caress that ball in between the three defenders. What an incredible goal. And what a start for the U.S. Dominated by the United States from the opening whistle. Chusty. The line kept in by Tolkien. Tolkien rolls it forward for Tillman. Tillman into the middle. It's Luna! That's amazing how contagious confidence is. Look at this lovely little chip pass here from Chusty. And it just, again, almost like a shadow dribble. Beautiful sequence ball. Always in the right place. The pace. The pass. Touchback obviously deflects nicely for Luna. But it was headed right in front of Hadji Wright. If it doesn't come to Luna. And just calmly Sack puts it right into the net. Very rare to have a performance like this. Where you don't even give Fair Marine an opportunity to save efforts. It's just been irresistible from the U.S. The fourth international goal for Diego Luna. Cap number 18 for the Real Salt Lake Man. When Brad Guzan, DeMarcus Beasley and Brian Dunseth will join Sarah Walsh. And there's plenty for them to talk about. Araskaeta's ball forward. Nunez. It's good towards Araskaeta. Araskaeta, he just brushed here. Good pass into it. But just McKenzie. How quickly he comes there to. To one minute of time being added on at the end of the first half. As Ugarte plays it backwards. It's an opportunity here. And trust he will clear it away. Nunez down the left side. Towards the violence. He stands the cross back in. He brings it further clear. All on back. Araskaeta. In stoppage time at the end of the half. Well it starts with a mistake here. A miscommunication. You know you have three U.S. players. All. Coming for the ball at the same time. You gotta say that's on Matt Freese. You gotta make sure that you come out and make that play. I mean how about that. Araskaeta doesn't like to tap in. He said you know give me something a little bit harder to do. That's about as good as an overhead kick can be. Lovely skill there. Betancourt. Uruguay with a bit of possession here. Just over ten minutes into the second half. Ugarte playing it back. Oliveira forward. Betancourt wide to the right. Rodriguez as he crosses deep. Deep for Aguirre. But trust he flips it up. Berhalter tries to get it further clear. Up down for Betancourt. Puts in from Tolkien. Goal! Freese has to get that. Behind it goes for a corner. Yaroskaeta already has one tonight. He'll flash that shot towards goal. You wonder if he's trying this. I don't think so. I think he's just trying to hit it with pace. Just slices it. But almost catches Freese near post. Freese. 13th cap for Matt Freese tonight. He has three clean sheets in his international career. Picked up by Yaroskaeta here. Rodriguez. Betancourt. And as with the cross into the middle. Trust he heads it away. Wide just on top at the moment as we approach the hour mark. And that one flashes wide. Betancourt with a strike. Oh, he hit that. So Aguirre, here's a good look at it. Almost the vantage point of Freese just wishing it wide. Knuckling. You can see it's definitely well wide. But he catches that one beautifully. Predicting that group that will turn up in March. That's a difficult one. That'll be interesting. That'll be very interesting. Another change coming here for Uruguay. Looks like Varela is coming in. The Flamengo man. Players in conversation. The assistant on the near side. You mentioned it earlier. Go all the way back to it. I can't remember which game it was. But Christian Pulisic got taken out a few times. And no one said anything. Not by your star player. No one were over there. Right away, the US player is furious. And running over to the referee. Protecting their player, Berhalter. In real time. You know, absolutely. Sometimes you get really unlucky. Where that ball pops your foot up. And you can say, I wasn't really attacking it at that angle. And that's a nasty challenge. Intentionally going over the ball. Clear red. So Marcelo Bielsa. Loses his captain. Making his way through there. Couldn't get back. Crossing towards Balogun. First for that country. And Tesman does it as well. So smart from Berhalter to just read. There's only one defender out there. And Gio Reyna. Just puts it on a platter. What a gorgeous ball in to Tesman. He just goes up. At this point. Nothing but a goal. He just makes the decision to come out. Is it anywhere near that one? The ball is just hit with so much pace. And it's so low. He has no chance at coming and making a play on that. What a ball from Reyna. Rises in the crowd. Excellent ball. It's all in that service. But Tesman. Brave because he's got to expect a challenge coming from the goalkeeper. And just nods it right in the goal. You could hear the mics. You could hear all the. Mackenzie. Now it's Tesman. Tesman carrying this one forward. Through towards Aronson. The final whistle goes. And it brings the curtain down on 2025 for the United States. And what a way to end the year. They will head into a World Cup year. Off the back of the best performance of Mauricio Pochettino era. Dominant from start to finish here. Against Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay. A 5-1 win. It's very strange. We heard how much he thinks of Bielsa. Calling him his other family. His other father. His mentor. I guess there's nothing more respectful you can do. To perform at this level. But I'm sure that feels a little bit strange. To go hug his mentor. And one of his heroes. Bielsa's got to be proud of the manager. Pochettino. Just demonstrated he is. And the first 40 minutes tonight were incredible. The United States. Scoring after 17 minutes. Through Sebastian Berhalter. Freeman got a couple. Luna with another one in the 42nd minute. And Tessman got the fifth. Towards the end of the game. The U.S. Soccer Impact Match on TNT. Is presented by New York Life.
