Gio Reyna scores twice as the USMNT rolls to a rout of Ghana

Four days after a humbling defeat to Germany, the Americans recorded four goals in a dominant first half and smashed Ghana, 4-0, Tuesday night at Geodis Park.

Gio Reyna, reunited with Coach Gregg Berhalter for the first camp since their fallout at the World Cup last year, scored twice, and Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun added one apiece. They did it against one of Africa’s best teams, which made several mistakes but also couldn’t keep pace with the hungry and swift Americans.

The attacking quartet of Reyna, Pulisic, Balogun and Tim Weah, complemented by slippery right back Sergiño Dest, stretched Ghana’s resistance with sharp combinations, smart runs and efficient finishing.
