USA Edge Senegal 3-2 in Thrilling World Cup Warm-Up Clash – Which Stars Shone Bright?
Nicolas Jackson then wasted a glorious chance to level matters when Iliman Ndiaye’s cut-back found him in space, but the striker blazed over the crossbar.
The USA punished that miss midway through the half. Pepi was again at the heart of the move, exploiting space down the right before threading a precise pass through for Pulisic.
The Milan forward rounded goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf and calmly slotted home from a tight angle to make it 2-0 after 20 minutes.
Senegal gradually improved as the half progressed and began to enjoy longer spells of possession. Turner remained largely untroubled, though he was required to push away an effort from Ndiaye, while Mamadou Sarr produced a crucial block to deny Antonee Robinson what looked a certain third goal for the hosts.
