US Men’s National Soccer Team gets win Against Rivals
On Tuesday, Sept 11, the USA Men’s Soccer team played in a friendly match vs. Mexico at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. The two teams’ historic rivalry only looked different on the surface, with many of the old players being replaced by younger faces. A few minutes after Mexican forward, Angel Zaldivar, was sent off from a red card, 19-year-old Tyler Adams for the US scored the American’s only goal of the night by shooting low and to the left. Over 67 meeting between the two countries, Mexico still leads the series 34-19-15.
