VIDEO: Matt Besler gets away with handball in box late in CONCACAF Cup

The USMNT almost lost the CONCACAF Cup in the most tragic of ways. Matt Besler appeared to handle the ball inside the box and it wasn’t called. As the game entered stoppage time, Besler put his arm out and really could’ve been a penalty kick.

It really did appear like a blown call. The referee didn’t call it, the USMNT and Besler is saved for at least another 30 minutes, and the CONCACAF Cup enters extra time.
