The United States and Ghana series had never played a friendly before despite three straight years of meeting in the World Cup. Now the USMNT can claim their first winning streak of the short rivalry if you want to call it that.
Dom Dwyer scored on his debut and Kellyn Acosta notched his first international goal as the USA defeated Ghana 2-1 at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut.
It was Dwyer who opened the scoring in the 19th minute, converting a powerful volley of what seemed to be an accidental setup from Jorge Villafana.
