A second-half equalizer from Folarin Balogun earned the U.S. men's national team a 1-1 draw against Ecuador in Austin, Texas on Friday night.
Despite the home side finding themselves down 1-0 at Q2 Stadium after a 24th-minute goal from Enner Valencia, the U.S. impressed with its attacking momentum in the early stages of the exhibition. Eager to alter the scoreline, the USMNT finished the first half with 66% possession and six shots, but remained scoreless by the midway break after some clever saves from Ecuador goalkeeper Hernán Galíndez.
