📋 Gold Cup🥉

The US started a full-strength squad for this 3rd-place match.

34’
Claudio Reyna’s cross is nodded home by Eric Wynalda, who just passed Bruce Murray for most all-time with 22 USA goals.


37’
Cobi Jones is played wide and with plenty of space, plays in the early cross.

German Ruano cleared into the middle of the box and Jeff Agoos scored from close range. 

The third career national team goal for the defender and the Yanks were in control.


87’
The❗️was stamped when Reyna slipped in Jovan Kirovski behind the Guatemala defense.

The substitute, who just came on three minutes ago, shot on the first touch after a nice combo between Roy Lassiter and Reyna.
