It’s a wrap
The Wellington crowd was treated to a special contest as the USA and Netherlands jostled throughout the encounter, but ultimately played out an exciting draw.
The US had the edge on total shots, with 18 to 5, but the Oranje pipped their American counterparts with more passes overall (502 to 362) and possession on the ball at 57 percent.
So where do we go from here? The US will round out their group with a match against debutants Portugal on August 1, with the Netherlands playing the other newcomers, Vietnam, on the same day.
