Successful dress rehearsal against the World Cup host! | USA 1-2 Germany | Highlights – Friendly

Hi there and welcome to the Chicago Heat as Team America USA host Germany in this World Cup. Friendly as the teams try and put some things into place before the real game start. Two minutes into this and Kimmich is standing over the ball, whips it into the middle and straight from the Champions League final. Havertz 1-2 as you like it. He's activated World Cup mode and he's got a goal within two minutes of this game. Heading straight beyond the goalkeeper, flat-footed, not much he can do about that from point-blank range and Team USA are finding themselves one goal behind. 15 minutes into this game and it's cleared from the corner. It's struck from distance and what a strike this is from Robinson and what a celebration to boot. The Fulham fullback has absolutely smashed this. Bjorn Baumann who starts the goal ahead of Neuer and he's got a great goal to his name already. I know the World Cup's not started but if that's the sign of things to come, sign me up. That is quite the strike from the left back but Germany were not done there. They're looking to come forward. This is feeding into the second half now. There were plenty of changes made. Havertz turns provider Zane. He struck that into the far corner casually as you like. Don't think he hit full force but the ball finds its way past the goalkeeper and into that far corner. There's not much that Fraser could have really done there but Zane repaying the faith of Nygaard's man and getting his name on the score sheet and it's the decisive goal so far. Germany coming forward onto the edge of the box is struck and no it's gone past that far post. What a return that could have been. He's just come on Amiri and he could have got a goal to his name as well. Coming forward here Team USA on this left-hand side. Drifts inside. Aronson that leads man. It's saved by Baumann. Pushed away from corner kick. The last real effort in this game is Aronson bearing down on goal. Struck with such venom and force but Germany find themselves off to a winning start with plenty to work on and good exposure to the conditions. Ciao, ciao.
