The visitors had much the better of the first half but chances were at a premium for both sides. Konrad did have sight of goal but he skied an effort from inside the area when well placed.
Dest enjoyed a pretty impressive performance on the right. The Barcelona man played with a bit of swagger and showed some great feet to tee up Weston McKennie for a cross.
Konrad had a header blocked at the start of the second half and went off on the 70 minute-mark as Berhalter opted to make changes.
The second half fizzled out at a little bit in true international friendly style, although Wales did force a couple of saves from goalkeeper Zach Steffen.
Dest, who looked bright all night, was given a breather for the last few minutes as the two sides settled for a goalless draw.
