The United States edged Senegal 3–2 in a friendly encounter that saw the hosts control proceedings through superior shot volume despite near-identical expected goals. Playing in a 3-4-3 formation, the Americans registered 17 shots with five on target, accumulating 2.27 xG, while Senegal's 4-2-3-1 setup generated only seven attempts from a similar 2.23 xG tally. Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun each scored once for the hosts, who proved more clinical in the final third despite Senegal's goalkeeper managing a 33.33 per cent save rate. The visitors' inability to convert their limited opportunities—three shots on target yielding just two goals—highlighted the margin in execution quality. Referee Nick Walsh oversaw a competitive fixture that demonstrated the hosts' attacking depth against a Senegal side that stayed competitive through limited but purposeful attacking play. The result underscores US attacking potency ahead of upcoming competitive fixtures.
