AL RAYYAN, Qatar — Gareth Bale converted a penalty kick in the 82nd minute to offset Tim Weah’s first-half goal and give Wales a 1-1 draw with the United...
Acosta earned a yellow card in stoppage time when he fouled Bale in midfield. The foul was tactical to give United States goalkeeper Matt Turner time to get back into goal after pushing up out of position in an attempt to retain possession. Had Acosta not fouled Bale would have had an opportunity to shoot from near midfield on an open goal to win the game.
Next up for the United States is a high-profile matchup against England on Friday, the same day Wales faces Iran. England opened with a 6-2 rout of the Iranians earlier Monday. From near the penalty area, Weah used the side of his right foot to poke the ball over the left thigh of sliding goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey for his fourth goal in 26 international appearances.
