United States' Walker Zimmerman gives up a foul in the 82nd minute to hand Wales' Gareth Bale a penalty shot for an eventual 1-1 draw in the Group B opener of the FIFA World Cup.
Gareth Bale converted a penalty in the 82nd minute and Wales salvaged a 1-1 draw against the United States in both teams’ Group B opener at the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Monday in Al Rayyan, Qatar.
Bale’s conversion from the penalty spot, despite diving U.S. goalkeeper Matt Turner getting a palm to the shot, marked his 41st career goal for the Wales national team, in his nation’s first World Cup match since 1958. Christian Pulisic set up the Americans’ first World Cup goal since they last reached the tournament in 2014, after he was one of the players on the field when the Americans failed in their bid to qualify for 2018.
The US had mostly half-chances in the opening half-hour but then took the lead in the 36th minute on one of the best early goals of the tournament.
