Portland Timbers midfielder Darlington Nagbe received his first start for the U.S. Men's National Team as they drew 0-0 with Serbia at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium. Nagbe, placed on the left side in an attacking position in new USMNT head coach Bruce Arena's 4-2-3-1 formation, was creative and attacking throughout the match.
In the 29th minute, Nagbe received a pass from Michael Bradley on the left before narrowly missing the far post with a curling shot. Nine minutes later, after some nice combination passing with Jozy Altidore and a flick from Jermaine Jones, Nagbe just missed the right post on a low shot.
