USA through to the last 16 but Scally doesn’t appear | OneFootball

Joe Scally (photo: imago images / Agencia MexSport) also didn’t make his World Cup debut in the third and final game in Group B. The 19-year-old was watching from the bench as his team took control of the game in the first half and took the lead in the 38th minute through Christian Pulisic. In the second half, Iran looked stronger, and had a couple of chances to equalise. With a bit of luck, the USMNT managed to hold their nerve and get the game over the line. “We had to be mentally strong, the boys did that well,” said US head coach Gregg Berhalter. Having won 1-0, the USA made it through Group B in second place and will play the Netherlands in the last 16 on Saturday (16:00 CET).
