'I tried to mess with him' - USMNT goalkeeper Turner on role he played for Qatar's crucial Gold Cup missed penalty

 The missed second-half spot kick proved a turning point as the U.S. booked a spot in the Gold Cup final

U.S. men's national team goalkeeper Matt Turner revealed what happened in the moments leading up to Qatar's game-changing missed penalty in Thursday's Gold Cup semi-final.


After a foul was called on James Sands, the U.S. faced a second-half penalty from Hassan Al-Haydos, who had scored a panenka from the spot earlier in the tournament.


But, after a delay in taking the penalty, the Qatar star missed his spot kick, helping kickstart an eventual 1-0 win for the USMNT that booked a spot in the Gold Cup final.
