USA Vs Turki - Football Domestic
Heavy rain and sloppy defense saw the United States National Team lose again. This time, it was Turkey's turn to beat Mauricio Pochettino's team with a score of 2-1 in a friendly match held at Pratt & Whitney Stadium on Sunday (8/6) WIB early morning.
From the start, the match was hot even though the weather on the field was pouring with rain. Jack McGlynn became the figure who gave America hope when he became the fastest goal scorer when the match entered the first minute, this became a new history for the Yanks squad since Shaq Moore broke into Canada's goal at the 2021 Gold Cup.
Reporting from the usnews page, the advantage created in the first minute by Jack McGlynn did not last long. The visiting team took advantage of the negligence of the American back line. With a time difference of 23 minutes, finally the young player belonging to Real Madrid, Arda Guler, scored a goal. Followed by Kerem Akturkoglu who successfully turned things around to 2-1 in the 27th minute.

Guler equalized when the match entered the 24th minute, after the ball received a pass from Johnny Cardoso that bounced and passed debutant goalkeeper, Matt Freese. After that, three minutes later, it was Akturkoglu's turn to register his name on the board and this made Ay-Yildizlilar superior until half-time. The goal was created after taking advantage of the rebound from an imperfect sweep from Miles Robinson and releasing a volley that Freese was unable to block.
The United States, under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, fielded many new faces. There were a total of eight changes from the squad that performed poorly in the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals last March. Among them, young defender Alex Freeman, son of former NFL star, Antonio Freeman, who was making his debut with the national team. Meanwhile, Matt Freese, who has always been New York City's mainstay in the MLS, was entrusted to guard the goal.
However, these debutants were not enough to change America's fate in the match against Türkiye. This morning's match was the third consecutive defeat and saw Pochettino's record drop to five wins and four defeats since taking over from Gregg Berhalter.

On the other hand, Turkey appeared efficient and more dominant in controlling the match. Now, they have recorded six wins in the last eight matches. This is a positive note ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, which will begin in September. Next, the United States will host Switzerland on Tuesday (10/6), before starting their Gold Cup campaign against Trinidad and Tobago on June 15.
