Matt Turner made a stellar save just after 10 minutes -- his 20th of the tournament -- from a goalbound Rogelio Funes Mori header to keep the score level early.

The U.S. missed a great chance to take the lead on 25 minutes when, after dispossessing Mexico in its own half, Sebastian Lletget sprang Paul Arriola in the area, but his shot came back off the post with only the keeper to beat.
