The USMNT had no trouble against an under-strength Trinidad & Tobago, closing out January camp with a 7-0 win at Exploria Stadium in Orlando. With the USMNT a mix of senior national team players and U-23s, it didn’t take them long to get in sync. Jonathan Lewis scored in the 2nd minute, one of three players to finish with two goals. USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner saved a penalty on his way to a clean sheet in his senior squad debut.
Jesus Ferreira doubled the USMNT lead in the 9th minute with Paul Arriolia scoring in the 22nd. Arriola was the first of the USMNT players with two goals, scoring again in the 41st minute. Lewis followed with a 55th minute goal. Miles Robinson made it 6-0 in the 52nd with Ferreira scoring his second goal in the 62nd minute. Turner’s penalty save game in the 66th minute.
With the focus of this camp split between the two groups, the USMNT moves on the March friendlies. Meanwhile, the U-23s will be in Guadalajara trying to qualify for the summer Olympics.
