WATCH: USMNT score just 20 seconds in to 2nd half against Guatemala

Posted by on Mar 29, 2016 20:38

How? How did this USMNT take a loss to Guatemala on Friday night?

After a completely dominating first half and a 2-0 lead at halftime, the message was clear from manager Jurgen Klinsmann — ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK.

It took just 20 seconds in to the second half for that message to bare fruit — as Gyasi Zardes assisted on his second goal thanks to a poor first touch and some great spacing for Graham Zusi.

The just-added Zusi knocked home the loose ball and put the USMNT up 3-0 inside the first minute of the match.
