France v United States - International Friendly Match

After an outstanding string of playoff performances last fall and more recent strong showings for the Columbus Crew, Zack Steffen showed why he should be the USMNT's starting goalkeeper for years to come.

In a hostile environment with the United States constantly under pressure, Steffen managed to keep his cool and put his exciting reflexes and agility on full display. Steffen managed 7 saves from the 18 total shots he faced. His best work came when he denied a rapidly advancing French squad not once, but twice in the final minute of stoppage time.

After yet another strong showing against an International powerhouse, Zack Steffen has surely cemented himself as the No.1 goalkeeper atop the United States' depth chart.
