Turner, who had not started since June 10, 2025, was named in the starting XI after coach Mauricio Pochettino opted to give him a chance. The U.S. lost 5-2, but Turner made several key saves early on, including a parry of a long‑range shot by Zeno Debast.
Despite a solid start, Belgium capitalized on a turnover in the 36th minute and later scored twice, with Amadou Onana and Zeno Debast securing the win. Turner’s performance highlighted the open competition for the U.S. goalkeeper position.
