What seemed like a utopia happened: America achieved the 1-1 and equalized the score against Chelsea, in the friendly match taking place in Las Vegas. But the partial draw did not come from a collective play by the Mexicans, but after a serious mistake by Reece James, who misjudged Kepa's position when passing the ball and scored an own goal.
The English full-back had entered in the second half to bring some freshness to the wings of Thomas Tuchel's team. However, the change ended up costing the German strategist dearly.
In this way, almost unintentionally, the America team achieved the draw. However, Chelsea has not stopped being superior and, if they want to, they could take the lead again.
