The United States men's national team took to the pitch for the first time since the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup in which it lost in the semifinals, and Friday's result against Peru was far more palatable than the July meeting with Jamaica.
While the United States played a largely uninspired first half in which Peru took a 1-0 lead, a second-half brace from striker Jozy Altidore secured a 2-1 victory for the Red, White and Blue.
The game-winner came after a deflected Gyasi Zardes shot midway through the second half. Fox Soccer provided video on Twitter:
Peru fails to clear and Jozy Altidore reacts quickest to give #USMNT a 2-1 lead.
