The U.S. men's national team scored four goals in the first half of its 4-0 international friendly win vs. Ghana on Tuesday.
on Saturday rather quickly, as it put on a first-half show vs. Ghana on Tuesday. The USMNT scored all four of their goals in the first half in a commanding rout.
Ghana, coming off to a 2-0 loss to Mexico on Saturday, put out a stronger starting XI that included Inaki Williams as the No. 9 and Jordan Ayew at left wing, but the U.S. attack proved to be too much to handle. Gio Reyna, who had a positive first half vs. Germany before being substituted, scored in the 10th minute when he capitalized off a deflection.Then Christian Pulisic scored a penalty in the 19th after Tim Weah was fouled rather clumsily by Ghana left back Gideon Mensah, who came off at halftime after a rough showing.Folarin Balogun made it three goals in 12 minutes when he made a pure gunman move in the box.
The U.S. didn't have the same quality of opportunities in the second half, with the best moment coming from a substitute. Lennard Maloney, 24, made his first appearance for the U.S. when he replaced Johnny Cardoso. Maloney plays for newly promoted Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim and is the club's first ever USMNT-capped player.Philadelphia
