USA Edge Senegal 3-2 in Thrilling World Cup Warm-Up Clash – Which Stars Shone Bright?
The USA started their World Cup preparations with an entertaining 3-2 win over Senegal at the Bank of America Stadium, surviving a second-half scare after taking a two-goal lead.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side raced in front through Sergino Dest and Christian Pulisic before Sadio Mane pulled one back on the stroke of half-time.
Senegal then drew level early in the second period after capitalising on a defensive mistake, only for Folarin Balogun’s strike to restore the Americans’ advantage.
The hosts made a bright start and looked dangerous from the opening exchanges. Pulisic was heavily involved early on, first threatening with a dangerous delivery before helping to create the breakthrough after just seven minutes.
