Many different people could take Man of the Match for the U.S. in their 1-1 draw against Portugal. Matt Miazga played a smart, tough game, quieting a bit of doubt as to the fate of the U.S. defender pool that looked so old and weak in qualifying. Tyler Adams’s energy on the wing was infectious, as was Kellyn Acosta’s, who played his best game in a U.S. shirt since the 1-1 draw at the Azteca. CJ Sapong did a whole lot of dirty work, got himself an assist, and could well have had a couple others with some better finishing.
