During the USMNT's last friendly match in Austin between the United States and Ecuador, which ended 1-1, the visitors took the lead through Valencia in the 24th minute, and Balogun equalized for the U.S. in the 71st.
As for AC Milan's Christian Pulisic, he was doubtful for the match but eventually came on in the second half. The ex Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund forward, who was not in top condition according to coach Pochettino on the eve of the game, started on the bench and replaced Weah in the 73rd minute.
Pervis Estupiñán, on the other hand, started for Ecuador but was forced off in the 44th minute due to injury and was replaced by Medina.
In fact, according to Olé, the Milan left-back suffered an issue with his left ankle and will likely miss his national team’s next match against Mexico.
