June 29, (THEWILL) – The US Men’s National Team secured a resounding victory in the 2023 Gold Cup, defeating St. Kitts and Nevis with an impressive 6-0 scoreline.
This win puts the USMNT in a strong position for their upcoming final group-stage match against Trinidad and Tobago. Midfielder Djordje Mihailovic opened the scoring with a well-placed finish, followed by a spectacular goal from fullback Bryan Reynolds just two minutes later. The USMNT continued their dominance as forward, Jesus Ferreira, netted a brace within three minutes.
Ferreira completed his hat-trick early in the second half, and substitute, Cristian Roldan, contributed to the final goal, securing an emphatic victory for the Stars and Stripes. The Americans showed significant improvement from their previous 1-1 draw against Jamaica, starting the game with great determination and chasing down every ball from kickoff to the final whistle.
Headed by Interim Coach, Brian J. Callaghan, the team demonstrated their attacking prowess and thoroughly deserved their resounding victory. St. Kitts and Nevis found themselves unable to match the quality of the US side, and their defence struggled to contain the relentless onslaught. The goal by Reynolds, resulting from a USMNT corner, is a strong contender for the best goal of the tournament.
The outcome of this match is likely to further diminish St. Kitts and Nevis’ chances of advancing while providing a confidence boost for the USMNT as they prepare for their crucial encounter against Trinidad and Tobago.
