Any fears that the U.S. men's national team would suffer from a hangover and let its guard down after Sunday's thrilling Concacaf Nations League final win over Mexico were quickly extinguished.
Brenden Aaronson scored in the eighth minute, Daryl Dike and Reggie Cannon scored the first senior international goals of their respective careers, Gio Reyna came off the bench to convert a penalty kick and the U.S. cruised by Costa Rica with a 4–0 friendly win Wednesday night in Utah. It capped a four-game, 3-1-0 stretch for what's considered to be the top group at coach Gregg Berhalter's disposal.
