KANSAS CITY, Kansas (June 5, 2022) – The U.S. Men’s National Team played 13th-ranked Uruguay to a scoreless draw in front of a sellout crowd of 19,569 on Sunday afternoon at Children’s Mercy Park, extending its home unbeaten streak to 25 straight games. While the USA had the better of possession and was aggressive on offense, three key defensive plays were critical in preserving the draw: a goal line clearance from right back DeAndre Yedlin, a point-blank save by goalkeeper Sean Johnson on the goalmouth and a sliding block from center back Walker Zimmerman inside the box.
The draw against fellow World Cup participant Uruguay brings the all-time series record between the nations to 2-2-4 and extends the USA’s home undefeated streak to 25 matches, just one shy of the team record of 26, set from 2013-2015.
The USMNT now turns its attention to defending its Concacaf Nations League title, kicking off the 2022-2023 tournament with group stage matches against Grenada on June 10 (10 p.m. ET; ESPN+, UniMas, TUDN) at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas and at El Salvador on June 14 (FS1, Univision, TUDN).
