Galaxy midfielder Sebastian Lletget scored two goals in the final seven minutes Thursday, capping the U.S. national team’s 4-1 victory over Jamaica in an empty stadium in Wiener Neustadt, Austria.
Sergiño Dest and Brenden Aaronson had the other goals for the U.S., one in each half.
The game was the first of 2021 for the core of coach Gregg Berhalter’s European-based U.S. national team, which is beginning a busy and consequential year that includes the Nations League in June, the Gold Cup in July and eight World Cup qualifiers in the fall.
Dest, moved across the field from right back to the left side, opened the scoring in the 34th minute with a solo effort for his first international goal.
