USMNT 5 – Grenada 0, Nations League

Led by a four-goal performance from Jesus Ferreira, the USMNT shutout Grenada 5-0 at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas to open their 2022-23 Concacaf Nations League A group D schedule. With the United States threatening but not finishing chances through most of the first-half, Ferreira opened the scoring in the 43rd. It was Ferreira again in the 54th, scoring his and the USA’s third goal in the 56th minute. Paul Arriola made it 4-0 in the 62nd minute with Ferreira adding another goal in the 78th. Matt Turner kept the clean sheet for the United States. The USMNT plays its second Nations League game in their June international finale at El Salvador on Tuesday (10pm ET – Paramount+).

“It felt amazing,” Ferreira told ESPN+. “I said from the beginning that I wanted to focus on having a good game, getting my touch better, making runs, and playing for the team. I wasn’t too much focused on the goals, I was focused on my game play, having a good game, and I knew that the goals were going to come.”
