Dest drives forward with it, before laying it off to Aaronson, who picks out Pepi. The forward curls it first time from 18 yards into the far left corner. It's a lovely curling effort and it puts the game to bed.

A teasing ball is delivered into the 6-yard box. Shomurodov rises highest but can't hit the target with his header. It remains 1-0 to the USA.

It has a proper friendly feel to it, but the US are not home and hosed just yet.

Khojiakbar Alijonov is a threat once again down the right flank. This time his low effort is saved by Forest netminder Matt Turner at the near post.

What a hit!
