The U.S. men's national team closes its October international fixture window with a bout against a second straight South American opponent, hosting Peru in East Hartford, Conn., Tuesday night.
The Americans fell 4-2 in a thrilling friendly vs. Colombia last Thursday, with Kellyn Acosta and Bobby Wood scoring in the loss. Caretaker manager Dave Sarachan promised numerous changes to his lineup, and he delivered. Brad Guzan is in goal for his first international start in over a year as part of nine lineup swaps between games. Only Tim Weah and Kellyn Acosta are holdovers from the Colombia game.
