USA warm up with Guatemala rout

USA warmed up for the forthcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup with a 4-0 win over Guatemala in Tennessee this morning.

Jurgen Klinsmann's men, who kick off their campaign against Honduras in Texas on Tuesday, were awarded a penalty after 18 minutes in Nashville.

However, Jozy Altidore saw his spot kick saved by Paulo Motta, before Clint Dempsey fired the rebound wide.

Nevertheless, the hosts moved ahead minutes later when DeAndre Yedlin's teasing cross was headed into his own net by Carlos Castrillo.

Six minutes before the break, Guatemala, who kick off their Gold Cup campaign on Thursday with Trinidad and Tobago, went close but Wilson Lalin's header was kept out by Brad Guzan.

Klinsmann's men took a big step toward the victory shortly before the hour mark when Yedlin's cut-back was fired into the corner of the net by Timothy Chandler for his first international goal.

Dempsey added a third on 73 minutes in style by executing a 'Panenka' penalty to deceive Motta, before Chris Wondolowski completed the rout by tapping home Gyasi Zardes's cross from close range.
