USA vs. New Zealand live score, result, updates from USMNT international friendly in Cincinnati

Never are international friendlies must-win games, but the United States men need a positive result in the worst way as they host New Zealand on Tuesday in Cincinnati.

With Mauricio Pochettino still not yet in charge but likely on his way, the USMNT suffered an embarrassing 2-1 loss Saturday to northern neighbors Canada. The U.S. is in transition while Canada have enjoyed more stability, but the defeat harms the USMNT’s claim to the CONCACAF throne to a side still considered a budding international side.

They will look for a bounce-back against New Zealand, who were pummeled by Mexico, 3-0, on Saturday, conceding all three goals by the hour mark.

The Sporting News is following the USA vs. New Zealand match live, providing score updates, commentary and highlights as they happen.

USA vs. New Zealand live updates, highlights from friendly

2 hours to kickoff: After the loss to Canada, interim head coach Mikey Varas criticized the USMNT’s mentality. He wasn’t the only one, as they looked devoid of any motivation. Varas said he can’t force the players to want to perform, he can only evaluate their desire and select players who show the requisite heart.

He isn’t wrong.

USMNT interim coach Mikey Varas criticized the players’ mentality after the Canada loss.

“Mentality is on the players. They know it. … The mentality to fight and to run and to sacrifice, I can’t that for them. That’s on them.”

This international friendly kicks off from TQL Stadium at 7 p.m. local time Tuesday, Sept. 10, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Here’s how that time translates across some of the major territories around the globe:

The USMNT is without a few key players because of injuries. Sergino Dest continues to recover from his torn ACL and will be out for some time, and Antonee Robinson is not on the roster to gain some rest.

Tyler Adams is still recovering from a back injury and has missed significant time for various fitness issues in recent years, while Tim Weah is also out thanks to a hamstring injury suffered in the Juventus season opener. Gio Reyna was forced to withdraw from the squad because of a groin strain, replaced by Cade Cowell.

In goal, Patrick Schulte was the standout performer from the Canada defeat, while substitutes like Luca de la Torre and Haji Wright played well and could earn starts.

USA projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Schulte (GK) — Scally, Richards, Trusty, Lund — Musah, de la Torre, M. Tillman — Pulisic, Sargent, Wright.

Max Crocombe for now appears to have taken over the goalkeeping spot from Oliver Sail but head coach Darren Bazeley could use this match to switch it up and give the latter a chance.

New Zealand have called in a high dose of MLS talent for this international break in the United States, including Portland Timbers youth product Finn Serman who was a starter for the Football Ferns at the Olympics this summer. Olympiacos midfielder Marko Stamenic, at 22 years old, is another exciting young player, earning key minutes for the Greek giants early this season.

New Zealand projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Crocombe (GK) — Payne, Boxall, T. Smith, Cacace — Bell, Stamenic — Barbarouses, Garbett, Old — Wood.
