U.S. plays to a 1-1 draw with Wales in World Cup opener

After dominating the first half, the U.S. struggles in the second half and gives up a goal to Gareth Bale on a late penalty kick to play to a 1-1 draw with Wales.

BY AUSTIN KNOBLAUCH

The United States’ first World Cup match in eight years ends in disappointing fashion for the team in a World Cup-opening 1-1 draw against Wales.

The U.S. dominated during the first half but struggled to generate scoring chances after Wales made second-half adjustments.

Tim Weah scored for the U.S. in the first half off a stunning feed from Christian Pulisic. A foul in the box by American Walker Zimmerman led to Wales star Gareth Bale scoring in the 82nd minute on a penalty kick.

With the U.S. having difficulty keeping up the tempo of play in the second half, coach Gregg Berhalter made several substitutions but opted against putting Gio Reyna into the game.

For the U.S., the tie complicates its chances of advancing out of group play. A victory over England on Friday would go a long way in overcoming the disappointment of Monday’s result.
