31st - Robinson loops a long shot that actually hits crossbar and a Navas touch, another corner for the USA. Replay shows ball going under cross bar if untouched. 6th corner, all from right side. Pulisic, cross far which comes to Acosta at top of box, low shot blocked and return to Steffan, before restarting. Another foul on Pulisic. Like the Panama, Pulisic getting no love from the Refs.

Weah and pepi seem to be way out of form. I’d like to see some more penetrating passes but overall not too bad a half imo. The turf is terrible
