USMNT vs. Ecuador: Final Score 1-0 as Gyasi Zardes’ Late Goal Wins it for the U.S.

The United States Men’s National Team returned to Orlando City Stadium on Thursday for international friendly action against Ecuador for the first time since October of 2017. It was the first time in Orlando for the Yanks under the leadership of Head Coach Gregg Berhalter, and it turned out to be a memorable debut as the USMNT took home a 1-0 victory on the strength of a late Gyasi Zardes goal. Zardes’ goal capped off a solid performance by the U.S. defense that held Ecuador to a single shot.

Berhalter rolled out a 4-3-3 with defender Tim Ream rocking the captain’s armband.
