The USMNT went into the fourth game of the Berhalter era facing the first seriously good opposition in a game Chilean team on Tuesday night. Both goals came early, with Gyasi Zardes putting Pulisic through to chip the keeper before Chile equalized after a loose ball in the box, all in the first ten minutes. After those opening minutes, the USMNT’s fortunes waxed and waned, and then mostly waned. After the bright start, Pulisic was pulled as a precautionary measure due to a quad injury. And, after that, the USMNT lost a lot of their attacking verve.
