The United States and England were scoreless at the break thanks in part to Matt Turner.
The U.S. goalkeeper made just one save in the first half, but it required a full-extension dive in the closing seconds of stoppage time. England's Mason Mount fired a shot from the top of the box that forced Turner to dive to his right and swat the ball away.
On the ensuing corner kick, Turner caught the ball in traffic to bring an end to the half.
England held possession for 61 percent of the half, placing five shots on goal.
