Nagbe, who is a full US international, posted a video on social media shortly before kick-off. In the tweet, he simply stated “wow”, clearly impressed with the atmosphere inside the packed 60,000-seater stadium.

Nagbe is a pacy midfielder full of running who can operate on the wing or through the centre. He’s been with MLS side Portland Timbers since 2011, helping the franchise to win the MLS Cup in 2015.
