U.S. Too Tough for Cuba
From Associated Press
Roy Wegerle and Eric Wynalda scored goals within a three-minute span early in the second half Sunday as the United States defeated Cuba, 3-0, in a first-round CONCACAF Gold Cup match at Oakland.
Joe-Max Moore added a penalty-kick goal in the 76th minute of the match played at the Oakland Coliseum.
Wegerle’s goal came in the 55th minute. Frankie Hejduk headed the ball into the middle of the field at the top of the penalty box, and Wynalda flicked it to Wegerle, who had a straight shot into the net.
Wynalda followed with an unassisted goal in the 58th minute. Cuba goalie Alexi Reve-Aviles came out to challenge Cobi Jones, who chipped it inside the box. Wynalda, the U.S.’s all-time leading scorer, had an easy shot into an open net.
