Newcomer Tyler Boyd gets 2 goals for US in 4-0 Gold Cup win over Guyana

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Newcomer Tyler Boyd scored two goals to guide the United States past overmatched Guyana 4-0 to start the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Tuesday night, getting the Americans back on track in their first competitive game in 20 months.

Boyd, a 24-year-old attacker, made his U.S. debut in an ugly 3-0 loss to Venezuela on June 9 after a FIFA-approved switch of affiliation from New Zealand.

"Just a dream come true," Boyd said. "It's been years and years of work to get to this moment."

Paul Arriola had a goal and an assist, and Weston McKennie had two assists before leaving with what appeared to be a left hamstring injury.
