ST. LOUIS — Jesus Ferreira scored a hat trick and the United States beat St. Kitts and Nevis 6-0 to equal their biggest-ever margin of victory in the Gold Cup.
The Americans were decisive favorites coming in against the tiny Caribbean nation — making its first-ever appearance in the Gold Cup — and wasted little time putting the game away.
Djordje Mihailovic's first international goal since 2019 opened the scoring in the 12th minute before the lead grew to 3-0 less than four minutes later on goals from Bryan Reynolds and Ferreira.
Ferreira's second gave the U.S. a commanding 4-0 halftime lead, but with a goal-differential tiebreaker against Jamaica likely to determine the group winner, the team had more to play for.
