The US Men’s National Team (USMNT) swiftly bounced back from their recent loss to Germany , putting on a remarkable performance with a 4-0 victory over Ghana. Gio Reyna played a central role, scoring twice, while Folarin Balogun and Christian Pulisic also found the back of the net, resulting in a four-goal burst during the first half of the match.
Throughout the game, it seemed like the USMNT was poised to score with every forward push, and they capitalized on nearly every opportunity. Coach Gregg Berhalter’s decision to involve Balogun more in the gameplay paid off, with the striker taking five shots in the first half and showcasing his potential when given space.
The match also featured a notable milestone, with Lennard Maloney earning his first cap for the team. The German-born midfielder became the 60th player to achieve this feat under Coach Berhalter’s leadership, making it a memorable night of soccer all around.
The German born midfielder is now the 60th debut under Berhlater to tie Bob Bradley for the second most debuts of all USMNT coaches. Cardoso will leave the game as the USMNT get to look at two defensive midfielder options in the match.
