"Pochettino's side ran riot in the first half with four goals in 25 minutes, with Uruguay seeing captain Rodrigo Bentancur sent off just after the hour for a second bookable offence. Sebastian Berhalter opened the scoring in the 17th minute after playing a short one-two with Sergino Dest from a free-kick before sensationally picking out the top-right corner. The USMNT doubled their lead three minutes later with Berhalter involved again, with his inswinging corner towards the back post met by the head of Alexander Freeman."
"Though Giorgian de Arrascaeta's exquisite bicycle kick reduced the arrears in first-half stoppage time, Uruguay's hopes of getting back into the game were quickly extinguished in the 64th minute when Bentancur was given his marching orders for a high challenge on Berhalter. Tanner Tessmann made that man advantage count four minutes later, flicking Giovanni Reyna's cross home to complete an emphatic display by the World Cup co-hosts."
