Turnovers and individual errors were punished by Turkiye, who went into the half ahead and withstood the USMNT in the second half of play. With the loss, Pochettino has also become the first USMNT coach to lose three consecutive games since Jurgen Klinsmann in 2015.

The United States men's national team couldn't maintain an early lead over Türkiye in a friendly at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in Connecticut, falling by the final score of 2-1.

Shaken by flops at the Copa America and the CONCACAF Nations League, the USMNT is in need of form entering the summer.
