A place in the World Cup knockout stage is at stake as co-hosts United States take on Australia tonight at the Seattle Stadium (Lumen Field).
Both nations won their opening fixtures at this summer’s expanded tournament in North America, and in impressive fashion too, potentially setting up a winner-takes-all clash.
USA put the world on notice with a 4-1 win over Paraguay last Saturday as Folarin Balogun made history by becoming the first American to score two goals in a World Cup match since 1930 – when Bert Patenaude did so against the same opposition.
Meanwhile, Australia, surprised many by beating Turkey. Nestory Irankunda and Connor Metcalfe were on target in Vancouver but Patrick Beach was unstoppable in goal to keep a clean sheet.
Those results mean if there is a winner from this showdown then qualification for the round of 32 will be confirmed with a game to spare. A point a piece could also be enough to keep the World Cup dream alive.
