USMNT Match Reports

USMNT 4 – Ghana 0, international friendly

The United States finished out the October 2023 window with a 4-0 win over Ghana at GEODIS Park in Nashville. Gio Reyna put the USMNT up in the 10th minute with Christian Pulisic doubling the lead from the penalty spot in the 19th. Folarin Balogun made it 3-0 in the 22nd and Reyna scored again in the 39th. USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter subbed out the goal scorers at halftime. Lenny Maloney made his international debut, subbing on in the 65th minute for Johnny Cardoso. Matt Turner made two saves to keep the clean sheet. The 2023-24 Nations League begins for the United States in the November window.

“We learned a lot of lessons against Germany,” Balogun told TNT. “For sure, we had a lot of meetings and decided we wanted to have a reaction tonight. I thought that we showed that with a good performance, especially in the first-half. From this camp, we just know that we have to improve to compete against the top teams.”
