The U.S. Men’s National Team used late goals from Sebastian Lletget and Paul Arriola to earn a 2-0 win against Costa Rica before 13,656 fans at Avaya Stadium. With the victory, Gregg Berhalter becomes just the third MNT head coach to win the first two matches of his tenure.
Playing at Avaya Stadium for the first time since suffering a devastating Lisfranc injury during a World Cup Qualifier against Honduras on March 24, 2017, Lletget rose at the back post to head home a Jonathan Lewis cross in the 80th minute. He then provided an assist to ice the match, threading Arriola through on goal before the winger’s nifty chip closed the scoring in the 88th minute.
