The U.S. men’s national team has questions at striker. Folarin Balogun and Ricardo Pepi showed what they can do by scoring in a 4-0 win over Oman.
After seeing near-costly giveaways and sloppy passing in portions of Saturday’s match, Berhalter wanted to see better combination play and distribution from deep positions against 74th-ranked Oman. Midfielder Weston McKennie was in outstanding form, swinging long diagonal passes with precision placement.As it did against Uzbekistan, when Tim Weah scored in the fourth minute, the 11th-ranked U.S. team went ahead early Tuesday.
In the 79th minute, Pepi scored for the second consecutive game, turning at the top of the box and lacing a low shot into the far corner.Here’s what else to know about the U.S. victory:The U.S. schedule will intensify with friendlies against Germany on Oct. 14 in East Hartford, Conn., and Ghana on Oct. 17 in Nashville. The 2023-24 Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals — two legs against an opponent to be determined — are in late November. The home leg will be played Nov. 16 in Austin.
Ben Cremaschi, an 18-year-old midfielder for Inter Miami, debuted in the 71st minute. He is eligible for the United States and Argentina, and he has appeared in youth national team training camps for both countries. Because Tuesday’s game was a friendly, his options remain open.
