Ethan Horvath turned in a dominating effort in goal to keep the U.S. from being blown out, but even that couldn't prevent an inevitable loss
The U.S. national team was just seconds away from a result it didn't deserve against an opponent that dominated the entire match, but a last-second goal by Italy doomed the Americans to a loss.
It was a performance that summed up 2018 perfectly.
The Italians thoroughly dominated the U.S. team. Only the heroics of U.S. goalkeeper Ethan Horvath and the wasteful finishing of misfiring Italian striker Kevin Lasagna kept the result from being an ugly one.
