The attack is led by Pulisic, with Ramos in a supporting role.
On the opposing side, Sassuolo opted for a 4‑3‑3 with Muric on the left wing, Van der Brempt and Caleta‑Car in defense, Leysen and Doig on the wing. The midfield is made up of Adzic, Matic and Bakola, while the attack sees Berardi, Esposito and Laurienté.
