Bobby Wood converted a Tyler Adams-won penalty as the United States men’s national team took a deserved halftime lead over Paraguay in North Carolina on Tuesday.

Adams worked a beautiful 1-2 with Marky Delgado to race 70 yards into the box, and was clipped by Paraguay keeper Gatito Fernandez to win a penalty kick.
