USA vs. Peru, 2018 friendly: What we learned

This set of USMNT friendlies looked a little bit dicey on paper. All three of Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and Tyler Adams were scratches due to injuries, so the team was missing it’s most talented core of players. Instead, there was a plethora of relative unknowns. Last night’s match against Peru seemed a bit more daunting given the 4-2 loss to Colombia and the departure of Zack Steffen just a few days earlier.

That said, the United States went in and really showed some guts and pulled out a draw.
