ARSENAL star Matt Turner revealed that he and his wife are having a girl with a cute gender reveal on the pitch.
The goalkeeper helped guide the United States to a 1-0 win over El Salvador and at the end of the game, all his team-mates gathered around him.
The 28-year-old was handed a football by the squad and fans begun a countdown for him to kick it.
Turner booted the ball and pink smoke came out, meaning he and his wife are due a girl.
The stopper was congratulated by his team-mates before going across to his wife Ashley Herron and his first child.
His partner only recently became a mother for the first time in July last year.

“To be able to come here and for US Soccer to be so flexible to allow us to do that, it’s just a really special moment for us and I’m super excited to be a girl dad.”
