Bruce Arena's first match back in charge of the U.S. Men's National Team finished without any major fireworks, as the MLS-based squad recorded a 0-0 draw against Serbia in an international friendly Sunday in San Diego.
After both sides shared the ball in the early going, the U.S. began to assert itself 25 minutes into the match thanks to a springing counter attack through Darlington Nagbe, Sacha Kljestan and Jozy Altidore. A final ball across the 6-yard box by Jermaine Jones ultimately was broken up, but the play sparked an encouraging run of play for Bruce Arena’s side.
