USMNT vs. Chile – finding substance in meaninglessness

The USMNT travels to St. Louis for a midweek friendly against Chile following a 4-1 victory over Peru in Orlando. In that win, Justin Ellis scored on his debut, Malik Tillman converted a penalty, and Diego Kochen started in goal. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino is expected to rotate his lineup against Chile after keeping several players on the bench against Peru.

Chile enters the match following a 1-0 defeat to Canada, where they received two red cards after conceding an early goal to Jonathan David. Managed by Nicolas Cordova, Chile faces an American squad looking to build consistency and provide valuable international experience to its young players.
