Jozy Altidore scored two second-half goals in his return to the United States men’s national team after an injury-filled summer, and the Americans rallied to beat Peru, 2-1, in an exhibition match Friday in Washington.
Preparing for next month’s one-game playoff against Mexico for a berth in the 2017 Confederations Cup, the Americans fell behind in the 20th minute. A 20-yard shot by Daniel Chávez caromed off defender Omar Gonzalez and looped over the outstretched right arm of goalkeeper Brad Guzan, who retained the starting job despite the return of Tim Howard after a 14-month sabbatical from the team.
