Heading into the USA World Cup year, the Americans got on track in the first match.

45’
Erik Mykland and Henning Berg worked a nice give-go and Frank Strandli fires home before the break. 

55’
Joe-Max Moore set up a corner from the right side and his whipped cross was headed home by Marcelo Balboa. 

89’
What a moment on your first cap for Claudio Reyna. Gets subbed on just after the hour mark and receives the ball over the top late in the match.

Cobi Jones pounced on the parried shot and the Americans beat Norway late.
