76'
PULISIC FINDS ROBINSON, OUTSIDE HIM
But his return pass is poor and Ampadu humps behind.
75'
AGAIN, PULISIC ESCAPES DOWN THE LEFT
But his cut-back is behind his runners, and though Davies' clearance is poor, when a cross comes back in from the other side, Wright can only head well wide.

TRIPLE CHANGE FOR USA
Off go Dest, Musah and Sargent; on come Yedlin, Acosta and Wright.
73'
MUSA INTERCEPTS A LOOSE PASS OUT
And finds Pulisic down the left. He swings into a cross, but Aaronson's jump blocks Musah's view and Wales clear, after which Musah goes down with cramp.
71'
MEPHAM IS LATE ON PULISIC
Who goes down and requests treatment.
70'
PULISIC SWINGS OUT
And Moore heads clear. But USA maintain pressure, Pulisic collecting possession and looking to wriggle into the box from its side-entry. He's blocked off, but there's a sense USA are reasserting.
69'
RIGHT, HE'S UP, OFF THE PARK
And his team have a corner to defend...
68'
WILLIAMS DOES WELL WHEN ISOLATED DOWN THE RIGHT BY WEAH
But he takes a knee to the back in the process, so takes a break for some treatment.
66'

YUP, HERE COMES AARONSON
He replaces McKennie.

IN COMES THE CORNER AND MOORE IS UP!
He makes a great connection too - if anything, Clive, he's headed it too well! - and the ball flies over the top!
64'

WILSON SWERVES IN A FINE BALL
And Zimmerman makes a fine header, running back towards his own goal. This begins some pinball, that ends with Davies powering a header that Turner turns over! Wales are coming!
63'
ADAMS IS LATE ON ROBERTS
But with body not leg; free-kick Wales, out on the right, and a chance to put a telling cross into the box...
62'
USA ATTACK DOWN THE RIGHT
And Musah crosses towards Pulisic at the far post! But Mepham slides in, makes the challengem and somehow avoids the award of a corner.
61'
I WONDER IF MIGHT SEE AARONSON SOON
USA have lost their midfield control, and his running power, especially beyond his strikers, might be helpful.
59'
RODON IN HARD ON SARGENT
That's more like it and Wales counter as a consequence. But the first cross, from the left, can't pick anyone out so Roberts has a go from the right only to see a poor effort drift behind.
55'
BY GETTING CLOSER TO USA
Wales are stopping them from playing out, and when they win the ball high, Ramsey sticks a pass in behind Dest for Wilson. There's a challenge from McKinnie and Wilson wants a corner, but the ref says throw, and when the ball arrives into the USA box, it's eventually smuggled away.
55'
THIS IS, THOUGH, A MORE EVEN GAME NOW
And Ampadu releases Williams down the left. His cross, though, is behind the onrushing attackers, and USA counter immediately.
53'
WALES HAVING MORE OF THE BALL
Might also helps USA, as there'll be more room in behind for their front three to attack. I fancied USA by a couple of goals before the game, and I still do now.
51'

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE GAME BALE GETS SOME SPACE
But he's barely opened legs when Ream hauls him down; he's booked.
50'
TURNER COMES FOR THE CORNER
And drop it! Dest hacks clear, but this is better from Wales.
49'
GOOD FEET FROM MOORE
Looking after the ball, and though Robinson seems to foul Roberts without receiving a free-kick, the ball goes behind for a corner.
