United States earn massive road point at Mexico in 1-1 draw in World Cup Qualifying

The United States men’s national team earned a massive point in the Hexagonal of CONCACAF 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying on Sunday in a 1-1 draw against Mexico at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.

Head coach Bruce Arena made seven changes to his Starting XI from the team that started in a 2-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago on June 8. Seattle Sounders forwards Clint Dempsey and Jordan Morris began on the bench on Sunday and did not play.

Captain Michael Bradley gave the U.S. the lead just six minutes in on a beautiful 40-yard strike that caught Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa off his line.
