Slovenia defeated the United States 1-0 in a friendly match, extending the US' winless streak against European opponents to six games.
Nejc Gradišar scored the only goal of the match in the 26th minute, marking his international debut.
Twenty-four players made their international debuts in the match, including 13 Slovenians and 11 Americans.
The US team was composed entirely of Major League Soccer players, as the match did not fall on a FIFA international date.
The US has lost consecutive games under coach Gregg Berhalter for the first time since 2019.
