Clint Dempsey scored early and Geoff Cameron put the game out of reach before Graham Zusi and Jozy Altidore made it four as the U.S. Men's National Team defeated Guatemala, 4-0, in Columbus Tuesday night in a CONCACAF World Cup qualifier.
In a game heaped with pressure following the Americans' defeat to the same Guatemala side last Friday, the U.S. came out and was able to get into a rhythm early at the American fortress that is Mapfre Stadium. And after 12 minutes, they got a deserved lead. A long ball found the head/back of Gyasi Zardes whose flick to the top of the 18 found a wide open Dempsey, who finished nicely with a low-slicing shot.
