That’s all from me, folks. Thanks for following along. Stay tuned to the Guardian for more great coverage on this one from our journalists in Australia and the US.
Have a good night, US. Have a good afternoon, Australia. Be well wherever you are.
Full time: USA 2-1 Australia
Two great goals from Haji Wright gave the US a win to close the October international window, as Mauricio Pochettino’s side came back from a goal down against Australia in a friendly at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado.
Jordan Bos scored the Socceroos’ only goal, taking advantage of a flat-footed US defense and finishing well past goalkeeper Matt Freese. Wright responded in the 33rd minute with a toe-poked finish off a through ball from Cristian Roldan.
Wright added his second in the second half. That goal, like the first, was assisted by Cristian Roldan, whose quick free kick found Wright behind the Australia backline. The Coventry City forward cut inside well and unleashed a wicked curling effort past Maty Ryan for the goal that ended up being the winner.
