The United States defeated Australia 2-1 in an International Friendly on 15 October, with the hosts' 3-4-3 formation proving effective against Australia's 3-4-2-1 setup. The Americans dominated the shot count with 11 attempts to Australia's 9, though both sides struggled with conversion efficiency given their expected goals figures of 1.27 and 1.05 respectively. The US registered four shots on target compared to Australia's three, reflecting superior control throughout the encounter. The American goalkeeper made a crucial contribution, maintaining a 50 per cent save rate despite conceding 2.0 post-shot expected goals, demonstrating solid shot-stopping when it mattered. Pierre-Luc Lauziere oversaw the contest without notable controversy. The result provides the USMNT with momentum in their international calendar ahead of competitive fixtures.
Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
