The Americans overcome a slow start thanks to Ferreira’s record-tying effort and earn a comfortable 5-0 win in their last match on home soil before the World Cup.
AUSTIN, Texas — Jesús Ferreira tied the United States’ international record with four goals and the Americans routed Grenada, 5-0, on Friday night in a World Cup sendoff, a CONCACAF Nations League match 164 days before their opener in Qatar.
On a 96-degree evening, stars Christian Pulisic and Tyler Adams didn’t dress for the No. 15 U.S., playing a Spice Boys team ranked just 170th and winless since beating the U.S. Virgin Islands in March 2021. Second-half substitute Brenden Aaronson pulled Belfon off his line for Ferreira’s fourth, leaving him a 6-yard tap with his left foot into an open goal.
Malik Tillman, a 20-year-old who switched to the Americans from Germany last month, made his competitive debut at the start of the second half when he replaced Weston McKennie.
