Weston McKennie and Ricardo Pepi scoring twice to help the United States demolish their opponent

USA secured a dominant 7-1 victory over minnows Grenada in their CONCACAF Nations league game on Friday night.

The Americans run riot and pretty much ended the game with a scintillating display in the first half, which saw them go 4-1 up.

Groningen striker Pepi opened the scoring with a fine header as early as the fourth minute.

Leeds Brendon Aaronson doubled USA lead, before McKennie added a third in the 31st minute.

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.
