[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/hall-julian/lCyxppgD/"]Hall[/a] created [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/berhalter-sebastian/f9tMZSaG/"]Sebastian Berhalter[/a]'s opener with a clever dummy, then became the youngest [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/usa/fuitL4CF/"]US[/a] player to score in his first two appearances before defensive stalwart [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/richards-chris/fVGFlDh2/"]Chris Richards[/a] slammed in a header.[/p][p]Borussia Dortmund forward [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/albert-mathis/bsJ7nA4b/"]Albert[/a] - 17 years and four months old - [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/chile-KUCG35cM/usa-fuitL4CF/?mid=My78L95t"]slammed in a fourth in stoppage time[/a], surpassing [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/pulisic-christian/vTuaEfRq/"]Christian Pulisic[/a] to become the team's youngest-ever goalscorer.[/p][p]"[b]They're teenagers, but they are mature enough to compete,[/b]" said [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/pochettino-mauricio/zuJM7XDg/"]Pochettino[/a].[/p][p]"[b]To play with 16, 17, 18, 19 year-olds, can be good, or can be trendy... but the important thing is, when we call these kids, we are sure that they are going to perform.[/b][/p][p]"[b]It's only a matter of time.[/b]"[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ulloa-diego/dpT8GHM2/"]Diego Ulloa[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/gutierrez-maximiliano/A7DsPjrH/"]Maximiliano Gutierrez[/a] had briefly put [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/chile/KUCG35cM/"]Chile[/a] ahead with goals either side of half-time.[/p][p]A night that began with an emotional pre-game send-off ceremony to World Cup captain [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ream-tim/rcZZwu8e/"]Tim Ream[/a], who confirmed his international retirement, proved to be another full of promise for Pochettino's reinvigorated roster.[/p][p]Fresh from thumping [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/peru/Uend67D3/"]Peru[/a] 4-1 at the weekend, when 11 players had made their debuts, Pochettino sent out the youngest line-up yet of his two-year tenure, with an average age of 23 years and 25 days.[/p][embed guid="8374be00-d7ed-47ab-b52e-9043cd2593a1" url="https://x.com/brfootball/status/2105119847944528300?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/reyna-giovanni/zF5Q2DOk/"]Gio Reyna[/a] was the only player retained from Saturday's win, with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/robinson-antonee/ppHdaUtm/"]Antonee Robinson[/a] captaining for the first time.[/p][p]After scoring on debut, Hall squandered the first decent chance of the game. Played through one-on-one by Berhalter, the 18-year old rounded Chile's goalkeeper, but blasted his shot wastefully over.[/p][p]Chile grew dangerous on the break. England-born Chile winger [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/brereton-ben/0EMTwMJ6/"]Ben Brereton Diaz[/a] lashed the crossbar with a fizzing effort, and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/osorio-dario/bX9wQWSA/"]Dario Osorio[/a] rattled the left post with a curling shot.[/p][p]But the US struck on their own counter-attack. [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/dest-sergino/lOQwOgTR/"]Sergino Dest[/a] rolled a sideways pass across penalty spot. Hall made a brilliant dummy, letting it through his feet to Berhalter, who slammed into the bottom-left corner.[/p][p]In first-half stoppage time, Chile equalized. Another dangerous Osorio corner was parried twice by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/brady-robbie/GjF2pGwT/"]Brady[/a], his second punch sending the ball back goalward. An almighty goalmouth scramble followed before Ulloa bundled it in.[/p][h2]'Frustrated'[/h2][p]The game had barely resumed when Chile struck again. Gutierrez won an aerial duel on the halfway line, sprinted toward goal, cut inside, and curled a beautiful finish into the bottom corner.[/p][p]But two minutes later, Hall got his goal, leaping to steer a glancing header from Reyna's lifted cross into the net for 2-2.[/p][p]Pochettino rang five changes soon after the hour mark, bringing on several more experienced players from the recent World Cup campaign.[/p][p]Among them was Richards, who quickly slammed home a powerful header from Berhalter's pinpoint outswinging corner.[/p][p]Deep in stoppage time, Albert's shot rocketed into the crossbar and down across the line - a goal that was confirmed by the referee moments later, and surpassed Pulisic's 2016 goal against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/bolivia/nXdi7mbc/"]Bolivia[/a] in the team history books.[/p][p]Tempers boiled over as both squads and coaching staff flooded onto the pitch for a bout of shoving and shouting before and the final whistle.[/p][p]Richards said the Chileans were "obviously frustrated."[/p][p]"[b]They're losing the game deservedly, but then if they want to foul our goalie, or they're going to kick him while he's on the ground? I mean, you're on our home soil, so that's not going to fly,[/b]" he said.[/p]
