The United States men’s national team lost 2-1 to Turkey in a friendly in Hartford , Connecticut .

Jack McGlynn gave the US the lead in the first half with a curling effort from outside the box.

But the US struggled to hold the lead for long in the few moments where they did grab momentum.

Tyler Adams' introduction changed the US outlook for the better.

Several players appeared more than willing to mix it up with the opposition, tackles were made with conviction.

Turkey seemed content to cede possession to the US all the way up until the final third .

Turkey 's approach bit them a bit with McGlynn ’s goal, but by and large it seemed to work.
