Jozy Altidore hizo un doblete y Estados Unidos aplastó el viernes 6-1 a San Vicente y las Granadinas en su primer partido por las eliminatorias mundialistas de la CONCACAF.

Los visitantes, que ocupan el puesto 129 en el ranking de la FIFA, sorprendieron a Estados Unidos con un gol de Oalex Anderson a los cinco minutos. Sin embargo, el equipo de Juergen Klinsmann, con varios rostros nuevos, no perdió la cabeza y remontó con amplia posesión del balón y ataque constante.

Bobby Wood, Fabian Johnson, Altidore, Geoff Cameron y Gyasi Zardes redondearon la paliza en el segundo tiempo.

Estados Unidos visita el martes a Trinidad y Tobago, y San Vicente recibe a Guatemala.
