Nice 3-2 win with 22 players getting on the pitch for the US against a team that won (and was stripped) of the AFCON title. A legit result against a legit opponent. #USMNT#USAvSEN
The US have scored 3 times in the second half and two were taken away:
- Balogun was offside
- Balogun called for a soft foul
- Balogun finally allowed to have one stand.
3-2 USA. #USMNT#USAvSEN
