| 2.41am BST | |
| 02:41 | |
| 25 min: A very physical match. Getting a bit chippy. | |
| 2.38am BST | |
| 02:38 | |
| 21 min: Referee Drew Fisher shows Darlington Nagbe a rare yellow for a late challenge. That’s only the sixth booking of Nagbe’s career for club and country in seven years as a professional. | |
| 2.34am BST | |
| 02:34 | |
| 18 min: USA on the attack again and Dempsey picks out Zardes, who puts it past the keeper into the far side of the net for a goal ... and, oh dear, the offside flag is up! The goal won’t count. But an instant replay in the booth up here in the press box shows that’s a very iffy call. Unlucky! | |
| 2.32am BST | |
| 02:32 | |
| 17 min: Altidore turns on a pass by Nagbe and puts a shot on goal but it’s saved. | |
| 2.31am BST | |
| 02:31 | |
| 14 min: Given away by Hedges, who’s having a rough start to tonight’s game, and El Salvador are on the break again. USA track back nicely though and Zalaya’s shot from outside the area is easily corralled by Howard. | |
| 2.26am BST | |
| 02:26 | |
| 10 min: Free kick is played short to the left back Larin, but he fires it into traffic and it’s cleared. Some really good chances for El Salvador early. | |
| 2.25am BST | |
| 02:25 | |
| 8 min: Another chance for Zalaya as Hedges is beat by the near post. It’s turned away but moments after El Salvador win a free kick on the corner of the area. | |
| 2.24am BST | |
| 02:24 | |
| 7 min: The USA win a corner and Bradley’s offering falls to Dempsey but Carrillo makes the save. Another corner for the USA and more danger for El Salvador but it’s ultimately cleared. | |
| 2.21am BST | |
| 02:21 | |
| 4 min: Nothing comes of the USA corner and El Salvador quickly counters ... and Lichaj gives it away badly and Zalaya is all alone with only Howard to beat! Howard sprints off his line and throws himself at the ball and Zalaya goes flying! No whistle. Disaster averted! | |
| 2.19am BST | |
| 02:19 | |
| 3 min: El Salvador pressing high and it’s put through to Paul Arriola, who is free on goal and a late tackle puts it out for a USA corner. | |
| 2.17am BST | |
| 02:17 | |
| 1 min: And they’re off! The USA attacking from right to left in their brand new Gold Cup home kits, El Salvador from left to right in all-white strips. | |

| The thermometer only says 86F and the sun’s gone down, but at 60% it’s positively sweltering here at Lincoln Financial Field. The lower bowl at the home of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles is mostly full with pockets of fans in the upper two decks. Frankly, it feels like close to a 50/50 crowd as the teams emerge from the tunnels on to the pitch. | |
| Lots of late-arriving fans filing into their seats from the tailgate parties outside. There’s a Kendrick Lamar gig at the Wells Fargo Center next door, so the parking lots were especially lively tonight. | |
