The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) scored a dominant victory over Grenada with a 7-1 win in the CONCACAF Nations League. Weston McKennie and Ricardo Pepi each scored two goals while Christian Pulisic, Brenden Aaronson, and Alejandro Zendejas also found the back of the net. The team played their first competitive fixture under interim coach Anthony Hudson, and the match provided an opportunity for midfielder Gio Reyna to move past the World Cup controversy. Reyna started as part of the midfield three but failed to make a significant impact on the field. However, his participation marked an important step forward for the midfielder, who has been embroiled in several off-the-field controversies in recent months.

The game also marked an occasion for several USMNT players. Zendejas, who made his USMNT debut in January, scored a beautiful goal to mark his cap-tying, as did midfielder Johnny Cardoso. Defenders Auston Trusty and Mark McKenzie also received their USMNT debuts, with Trusty currently impressing in Birmingham City. Overall, Christian Pulisic was by far the best player on the field, showcasing his capabilities as captain of the USMNT. Despite the team's current off-the-field issues, their dominant victory over Grenada could be a sign that they are moving past the World Cup controversy and heading in the right direction.
