The LAFC forward cut open the USMNT defence easily with a well-timed run in between Tim Ream and Tristan Blackmon in the 18th minute for the first goal. Blackmon earned his first international cap on Saturday night. Since moving to the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2022, the 26-year-old has been a stalwart in a backline that has kept 12 clean sheets so far this season.
