The United States men's national team wrapped up the September international window with a frustrating 1-1 draw against New Zealand on Tuesday.
The U.S. largely dominated the match and took the lead in the 69th minute through an impressive 11-pass play finished by substitute Christian Pulisic.
However, in a familiar pattern this summer, they failed to secure the win, conceding a strange goal late in the game.
In the 89th minute, a long ball was mishandled by Caleb Wiley, and Mark McKenzie's clearance attempt deflected off New Zealand's Ben Waine, resulting in an unfortunate goal that left Matt Turner stranded.
