‪⚽️ | 📅 #OnThisDay in 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣6️⃣

‪🇺🇸 #USMNT‬ 4-0 🇧🇴 Bolivia
‪📍 ‬Kansas City
‪👔 ‬Klinsmann
‪📋 ‬Friendly

This was the last match before Copa América Centenario and the US was flying high off three-straight victories.

26'
Gyasi Zardes scores first after off an Alejandro Bedoya pass.

37'
John Brooks nabs another first-half goal on this quick and lethal set-piece. Michael Bradley plays the pass to the on-running Bedoya, who exposed the gap left open because of the expected initial cross.

Bedoya just plays it into the middle of the box with the Bolivians frozen.

52'
Zardes scores his second after Bobby Wood takes down this lovely Michael Bradley pass. Wood's cross finds Zardes, who started the move.

69'
In just his third appearance for the national team, Christian Pulisic gets his first international goal. He runs away from Darlington Nagbe to create the passing lane for the free shot at the goal.
