USA vs Germany - ALL GOALS & Highlights | FIFA International Friendly 2026

Welcome to the Coca-Cola send-off match on TNT. There are just 90 minutes of action remaining before the World Cup begins for the United States on Friday against Paraguay. And today, here in Chicago, four-time world champions Germany provide the final test before the tournament. And in this story venue, Kyle, this crowd has been whipped up into an absolute frenzy. I mean, it just chills right now. I was 13 years old the last time the World Cup was here, and it changed my life forever. I'm not a professional soccer player without that tournament. I don't have a career in soccer without that tournament. These players have the chance to change millions of lives of kids that are going to see this moment and think what's possible, start to dream about what soccer could mean to them. So this is the last chance you and I get to call a game, and it's been an absolute pleasure. And then I get to go be a fan and watch this and enjoy it. The U.S. coming in off a 3-2 win against Senegal a week ago. Germany were 4-0 winners against Finland before they departed from their game in Mainz last Sunday. In just six more days, the U.S. will step onto the biggest stage in the global game, a history-making moment on home soil, unlike anything these players will have experienced before. But the World Cup send-off game gets underway here against a European powerhouse in Germany, in the sunshine at Soldier Field in downtown Chicago, and a lineup you would think that is pretty close to the one that Maurizio Pochettino may well put out against Paraguay in game one. Sane moves away, floated in towards the secure box. Fulch meets it, and Germany in front, inside, two minutes in Chicago. Well, you could tell by his approach to that. It looked like Havertz was onside, but you could tell by his slow gait and his walk-up, he's not hitting that one on target. Just too slow from the U.S., and Rufis needs to cheat off his line, especially as he's starting to see that's not coming on target. You can see right there, I mean, on his line, has to come out, and also, it's just too easy for Havertz. He was very good in the air. He's never gonna miss from there. Poor start from the U.S., what a free kick. Kimmich, the captain, looks for that ball down the right side, and Sane will get there at the byline. Pulled back and knocked in, but the flag goes up. Ball's up. Havertz denied a second. Well, a bit fortunate that that downpour happens, because this ball, I mean, it's just gorgeous. Lovely backdoor run. It's that skip. Look how much speed it takes off the turf. Carr down the right side, finds Metcher. Now Sane. Rima cross doing the defending, but it's pulled and is cleared away by Anthony Robinson. Drops right on the edge of the box. That takes an inflection on the way through. And Fries was able to make the save there after the Pavlovich shot from the edge of the box. Now swinging from Kulisic. Carr heads it away. I only have one comment. You cannot hit a ball any sweeter than this. Oh boy. Well, it's the reaction of Weston McKinney. Hopefully we get it. Oh, and Balligan. Look at Balligan's reaction. Have a flip, take a bow. Similar to that from distance. It's Balligan. Balligan, a cross goal. Concern over Kulisic here. Well, he hits the ground hard. Here comes the tackle. Right as he takes the touch and just hits that ground hard. It's probably not the contact you can see immediately. He reaches to his back. Reverie does a good job of play on. Absolutely. They get a chance out of it. You said it. I was thinking through the Rolodex. My boy. They switched the flip. All helped to Anthony Robbins' goal. But this is exactly what Weston wanted to see in improving in this game. Now it comes towards Serginio Dest. He's inside the box. It's Dest! Serginio Dest. He managed to dance his way through, but he couldn't keep the shot down. As this ball skips through. Look at how good Dest is in tight spaces. That little feint with the right foot. Pretending right here like he's gonna go outside of the right. Little shimmy. Just gets under it slightly. The U.S. training most of the week in the incredible new facility in Atlanta, but they were at Chicago Fires. Nice new training home as well ahead of this game. This is Pulisic. Pulisic twisting and turning. Christian Pulisic deflected over. It's another corner. It's wave after wave right now from the United States. Corner number five incoming. That's what I was saying earlier. I love that Christian started to float and go find the game. A very important foot off. First game in a great doubleheader today. United States women's national team coming up against Brazil. Here's Pulisic chasing forward against Tartt. Christian Pulisic is deflected behind for another corner. It starts with the pressure there from Christian Pulisic. And Tartt's so smart. Just knows he can't go in there and jump in. Pulisic will fly right by him. That's really good defending. And that 99 World Cup changed the game in this country. Tillman towards the edge of the box is Anthony Robinson. Here's Christian Pulisic. Pulisic drives it in. And it's another corner on the far side. Two or three opportunities now coming the way of Christian Pulisic who a week ago got international goal number 33. It takes a great first touch. There's just so many bodies in there. It's a pretty obvious decision for him to be able to commit to the United States. Gets the chance to face the country at his birth today. Trane down the right side with the ball and towards Habert's bit of space there. Is it driven in from distance? It's a very good save from Threes who got down low by Felix Metcher. It's a good layup but the ball comes a little bit awkward. It's in the middle of his steps. Metcher. Always a smile on the face of Chris Richards. Along the edge of the box with Musiala. Runs! What an incredible first touch. Watch how hard this ball gets rifled in. Very compact and just cleans it up. Guy Habert's. It's the shot that comes through the legs. It's Robinson. And takes a deflection as well. That makes it so hard for Threes. You know, maybe if it doesn't take that deflection, he's right there. He's got to reset his feet. Even with the deflection taking some pace off of it, it still has enough pace to go on. A little bit 20 minutes remaining here as Tillman goes back towards McKenzie. Brown just catching Tillman and the referee, I think, is going to his pocket with a yellow card coming for the substitute. Brown, the Leipzig fullback, started all three games in Qatar and will be heading to his second World Cup. That's just really late. That one hurts too. And you can see he plants the foot and drives the knee into the back of Tillman. It's not have happened when I was a player with any of my coaches. There would have been absolutely no way they would have allowed that in the past. This is Rao. Rao, close it in towards the back post. No, that didn't go in, and then over the bar by Undov. You can see what he's trying to do. A lovely first touch back to Undov. Really quickly get to that near post. Comes to him too quickly for him to get up off his feet and not what a start she's had. She and Pochettino, good friends, know each other well from their time in England. Verhalter wide to the left side. Afton's cross into the middle. Scully battling to try and get there. And Scully from distance is tipped out by Baumann. Wasn't too far away from being the levelling goal. None from Scully. He's running away from the goal. Doesn't really want to get power on that one, I think. Amiri battling. Rams ball across. Headed forward by Afton. Aronson chasing to get there, but Valdemar Anton on the far side. Anton Valdemar with another chance to play this one in towards the edge of the box. It's a chance here for the shots. Just wide. Nadiem Amiri with a strike. Couldn't test freeze. You've seen so many of those cutbacks from Germany. They always have a player that's just waiting, coming to the 18. And each of the tournament here against Bolivia with a Klinsmann goal. They tied Spain in the group 1-1. Just opened up so nicely for him, didn't it? So a set piece specialist across to take the 10th corner of the game for the United States. From Gareska. Bayern man who missed all of qualifying injured. Aronson in for Reina. Reina couldn't keep it down. I think the U.S. has sometimes gotten to this position and overpassed at times in the first half. And right there after that touch, he's just thinking, shoot. Look at the movement on that last minute. This would be a good view of it. So close to that match and Germany didn't create a lot of clear goalscoring chances. Getting better from Bayern, the ones that they did. Were the instigators through most of the match. Nice ball through for Scali. He was frustrated he didn't get the free kick before. So the referee has shown this one as well to Maximilian Bayern. Looked as if he was waving the card towards Scali as well, but it must have been Wehr. But there was a challenge from Bayern that came on Wehr. Nothing happened. Well, that was the first challenge on Scali. A throw in from Raum. Good foot onto that one by McKenzie and Wehr up towards Pepe who helps that one off. Pepe pushing it forward for Reina. Germany racing to get back. They want to get a victory here heading into the tournament as well. Harrison battling with Tartt. What a fight that was. And a huge challenge coming in from Wehr on Raum. And the German players don't like that. Tartt is in there. And an instoppage time at the end of the World Cup's end of game. And here's the challenge. It weighs at full speed at that point. Now, listen, people will say the position of that foot. There's nothing wrong with that. It was a really hard, crunching challenge. Marcio Pochettino is on the pitch right now. I mean, Pochettino's era, not only is that even contemplated, maybe be embarrassed by your own team if you sat down and complained about it. I mean, there's some hard, crunching tackles in his era from him. Think about Yala and some of those Argentine defenders. Baumann launches it long. Wehr looking to head it straight back forward. Leroy Sané, the match winner here. The next time we see this U.S. men's national team will be in the opening game of a home World Cup. Marcio Pochettino's men falling to defeat in the World Cup send-off match here in Chicago today. But for an hour, they battled against a European heavyweight. And at times, they dominated. Leroy Sané with the winning goal. Anthony Robinson's stunning strike, a highlight today to level things after Havertz. Early goal had given Germany the lead and it finishes here. United States one, Germany two in the World Cup send-off match presented by Coca-Cola on TNT.
