Gareth Bale converted a penalty in the 82nd minute and Wales salvaged a 1-1 draw against the USA in both teams’ Group B opener at the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Monday.

Bale earned the penalty when he received a pass inside the area and used his body to shield himself from the challenge of American defender Walker Zimmerman, who clearly fouled him with his attempt at the ball.
