🏆👉USA and Wales playing for the first time in a World Cup game ended the FIFA World Cup Group B with a draw on Monday 21 November 2022 at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar. Wales attend a World Cup 64 years after their last participation (1958) – the longest gap between appearances by a single team in the history of the tournament.
USA and Wales have 1 point each. This draw is a flop for the United States after leading the game while conceded a penalty which was the equalizer for Wales. The two teams are behind leaders England with 3 points. Group B is closed by Iran with 0 points. In the first half of the game, US domination, was sealed by Weah’s opening goal. In the second half, the Welsh reaction was vehement, resulting in the penalty kick converted by Gareth Bale.

✅ Stats before the game: The US team is so far unbeaten in the previous two meetings played in friendly matches (W1, D1). The United States qualified for the 11th time at a World Cup and for the first time since 2014, when they were eliminated by Belgium in the round of 16. Including 2022, only Mexico (17) has appeared in more World Championships than the United States (11) among CONCACAF nations, with the latter able to reach the knockout stages in three of its last four participations (2002, 2010 , 2014). The United States have kept only two clean sheets in their last 27 World Cup matches, conceding 46 goals in the run, after keeping three clean sheets in three of their first six matches in the tournament between 1930 and 1950. In 33 World Cup matches, the United States has never drawn 0-0. No other team has played so many matches in the tournament without finishing a goalless match.
🏆👉 Lineup USA (4-3-3): Turner; Dest, Ream, Robinson; Zimmerman; McKennie, Adams (C), Musah; Pulisic, Sargent, Weah.
🏆👉 Lineup WALES (3-4-3): Hennessey; Rodon, Davies, Mepham; Roberts, Ampadu, Ramsey, Williams; Bale (C), James, Wilson.
