Grenada briefly reduced the deficit through Myles Hyppolyte, but their hopes soon turned sorrow when McKennie reinstated the three goal margin before half-time.

The rout didn’t stop there, as Pulisic made it 5-1 just four minutes into the second half. Peppi soon added his second, before substitute Zendejas sealed the final 7-1.

The victory means that USA need only a point against El Salvador at home ot Monday to qualify for the final four of the CONCACAF Nations League in June.
