After a disastrous 3-0 loss to France to open Team USA's Paris Olympics, the U.S. men's national team bounced back with a 4-1 win over New Zealand. The dominant performance in Marseille's Orange Vélodrome was a true team effort, with the team's Olympic-first four goals coming from four different goalscorers.

The U.S. opened up the scoring early, with goals from two of the three veteran players on the team. Djordje Mihailovic struck first with a penalty kick in the eighth minute, followed by Walker Zimmerman scoring in the box off a free kick.
