Morris' 8/10 performance earns U.S. late draw vs. Uruguay

A different lineup against a different opponent featuring a much more forgiving style looked to favor the U.S. men's national team against Uruguay. The result was different too, as Jordan Morris' 79th-minute tally allowed the U.S. to secure a 1-1 draw in St. Louis.

LAFC's Brian Rodriguez claimed the game's opening tally, finishing off a 50th-minute counterattack with a wicked strike past Brad Guzan. The U.S. didn't look capable of climbing back into the match, but in the 79th minute an attempted clearance from Jose Maria Gimenez caromed off Nick Lima and found Morris at the far post to chest home.
