USA beat Puerto Rico in Copa America warm-up
US team
Bobby Wood, Tim Ream and Paul Arriola scored to give the United States a 3-1 victory at Puerto Rico in an international friendly on Sunday.
In their opening tune-up for next month’s Copa America Centenario, the Americans dominated their first-ever match against a team trying to make inroads against the more popular baseball and basketball on the Caribbean island. “We hope the keep playing well and reach our peak for the Copa,” Wood said. Ream opened the scoring in the 20th minute, reacting first after Alfredo Morales’ shot, before blasting a left-footed effort past Puerto Rico goalkeeper Matt Sanchez. It was the first goal in 21 US appearances for the Fulham defender.
