Comes on for three minutes
Berhalter generated one clearance in Wednesday's 2-0 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Analysis: Berhalter would return to the bench after a starting role in the group stage finale, as the midfielder only played three minutes Wednesday. He would complete four passes and earn a clearance, the little he could get in his short time on the field. He will likely remain a bench option as the tournament continues, although with Folarin Balogun out due to a red card, the team could see some rotation that gives Berhalter a bigger role.
Scores, assists in loss
Berhalter took one shot on goal, sent in eight crosses (four accurate), took nine corners, created five chances, scored a goal, and assisted on a goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Turkiye. He also suffered four fouls, committed three fouls, and picked up a yellow card during the match.
Analysis: Berhalter was arguably the United States' best midfielder on the night. His equalizing goal showcased his composure in front of goal, while his passing, work rate, and intelligence helped drive the U.S. attack for much of the match. Despite the disappointing result, he emerged with enhanced credibility and showed he can contribute in high-pressure knockout-stage matches. His performance was one of the few clear positives from the defeat and should put him firmly in contention for meaningful minutes against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday.
