The U.S. men's national team stumbled to a 3-1 friendly loss against Germany at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford, Connecticut on Saturday.
Initially up 1-0 after a perfectly struck shot from Christian Pulisic in the 27th minute, the USMNT were at first threatening in the match that later swung in the favor of the visitors. Building off an equalizer from Ilkay Gündogan in the 39th minute, Germany began to take charge in the 2nd half with a rapid set of goals from Niclas Füllkrug (58th minute) and Jamal Musiala (61st minute).
