The American team has resoundingly dominated the match against Australia that starts at 9:00 p.m. (Spanish time) in Seattle (USA). In the last minutes of the match, Australia is pressing against a disorganized US defense. Until the 70th minute, the pressure after the loss of the hosts and the recovery of balls in the opposite field has left a constant trickle of chances for the locals, tracing the energy, verticality and aggressiveness with the ball that Pochettino’s team demonstrated against a weak Paraguay in the opening match. Australia, more competitive and robust in defense than the South Americans, holds on well organized and closed at the back. A mistake in defense cost them the first goal. The Australian defender Burgess, while trying to clear a Balogun cross, ended up sending the ball into the back of his goal. As the first half was almost over, Freeman took advantage of a clearance after a strong shot by Sergiño Dest from the edge of the area to score the second.
