美国男足国家队在周五的世界杯首战中轻松击败巴拉圭队,在加利福尼亚州英格尔伍德的索菲体育场以4-1战胜这支南美球队。

美国队从开赛伊始便占据压倒性优势。第7分钟,巴拉圭中场达米安·博瓦迪利亚将球碰进自家球门,打进本场首个乌龙球,帮助美国队率先得分。

明星前锋弗洛林·巴洛贡在第31分钟将球滑过巴拉圭门将奥兰多·吉尔,将比分扩大为2-0。随后在上半场补时阶段,巴洛贡以一记精彩的抽射攻破球门左上角,打进个人第二球,将领先优势进一步扩大。

巴拉圭中场毛里西奥在第73分钟扳回一球,但为时已晚。下半场补时阶段,边锋乔瓦尼·雷纳以一记惊艳的抽射为美国队锁定胜局,画上完美句号。

本场胜利为美国队拿下3分,使其升至D组榜首。同组的澳大利亚队和土耳其队将在周六展开对决。美国队下一场比赛将于6月19日在西雅图对阵澳大利亚队。

四年前的卡塔尔世界杯上,美国队在四场比赛中总共仅打进3球,且从未在单届世界杯比赛中打入超过3球。但在新任主教练毛里西奥·波切蒂诺更具创造力的战术体系下,在洛杉矶70492名热情爆满、星光熠熠的观众面前,美国队焕然一新。

出生于纽约、在伦敦长大的巴洛贡完成了世界杯首秀,成为自1930年以来首位在世界杯赛事中完成梅开二度的美国球员。三年前,巴洛贡选择代表美国队出战,而非留在英格兰足坛——当时他很难入选英格兰国家队阵容。这位24岁的摩纳哥球员迅速填补了美国队阵容中一直缺失的顶级前锋位置。

半场结束时,普利西奇被塞巴斯蒂安·贝尔哈特换下,但美国队并未立即说明这位AC米兰球星是否受伤。普利西奇当时曾向看台上的家人示意自己并无大碍。

普利西奇凭借左侧的精彩带球突破创造了美国队的前两个进球。第7分钟,他巧妙地撕开两名防守球员的防线,将球传给韦斯顿·麦肯尼,麦肯尼的传中球碰到巴拉圭中场达米安·博瓦迪利亚伸出的脚后弹入球门,索菲体育场看台上随即一片沸腾。

美国队逐渐强化了以普利西奇带球突破为核心的进攻战术。在巴洛贡的一粒进球因越位被取消后的三分钟,普利西奇再次从左侧突进,将一次变向传球传给后插上的巴洛贡,巴洛贡一蹴而就完成破门。

在上半场补时即将结束时,马利克·蒂尔曼送出一记长传,高速插上的巴洛贡停球留出空间,随后打出一记精彩的远射,球直挂球门远上角。

下半场缺少普利西奇的美国队配合连贯性有所下降,但雷纳仍完成了致命一击:他滑入禁区,用脚尖捅射打入自己的世界杯首球。这一时刻对雷纳来说意义非凡,此前在卡塔尔世界杯上,他因与前美国队主教练格雷格·贝尔哈特的家庭纠纷几乎未能获得出场机会。

数十位美国名流和文化界大咖齐聚这场在好莱坞以南10英里举办的比赛,其中包括汤姆·克鲁斯、乔治·卢卡斯、比尔·盖茨、哈莉·贝瑞、莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥以及卡里姆·阿卜杜勒-贾巴尔。

U.S. cruises past Paraguay 4-1 in World Cup opener

The U.S. men’s national soccer team made easy work of Paraguay in its World Cup opener Friday, defeating the South American side 4-1 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

The U.S. was dominant from kickoff. Their first score came on an own goal in the 7th minute, when the ball ricocheted off Paraguayan midfielder Damián Bobadilla and into the net.

Star striker Folarin Balogun extended the U.S. lead to 2-0 when he slid the ball past Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill in the 31st minute. Then, in stoppage time of the first half, Balogun added a second with a brilliant strike into the top left corner of the goal.

Midfielder Mauricio pulled one back for Paraguay in the 73rd minute, but it was too little too late. And in stoppage time of the second half, winger Gio Reyna added the exclamation point with a stunning strike.

The win gives the U.S. three points and puts it atop Group D, which includes Australia and Turkey, who will face off Saturday. The U.S.’s next match is against Australia on June 19 in Seattle.

The U.S. scored only three goals combined in its four matches at the Qatar World Cup four years ago, and it had never scored more than three in a World Cup match. But the Americans were a team transformed while playing in new coach Mauricio Pochettino’s more creative system in front of a passionate, star-studded Los Angeles crowd of 70,492.

The New York-born, London-raised Balogun made his World Cup debut with the first multigoal performance from a U.S. player in the tournament since 1930. Balogun chose to represent the U.S. three years ago instead of staying in the English system, where he likely would have struggled to make the Three Lions’ roster — and the 24-year-old Monaco professional has swiftly provided the top-level striker play historically lacking on U.S. rosters.

Pulisic was replaced by Sebastian Berhalter at halftime, but the U.S. didn’t immediately indicate whether the AC Milan standout was injured. Pulisic appeared to signal to family in the stands that he was fine.

Pulisic created the first two U.S. goals with exceptional runs down the left side. In the seventh minute, he cleverly split two defenders and passed to Weston McKennie, whose centering touch hit Paraguay midfielder Damián Bobadilla’s outstretched foot and went in, setting off pandemonium in the SoFi Stadium stands.

The Americans gradually amplified their attack centered around Pulisic’s runs — and three minutes after an apparent goal from Balogun was erased by an offside call, Pulisic again drove the left side and got a deflected pass to the trailing Balogun, who banged it home.

With first-half injury time winding down, Malik Tillman weighted a long pass to a streaking Balogun, who held up to create space and fired a brilliant shot into the far top corner.

The Americans were less cohesive without Pulisic in the second half, but Reyna still added the finishing touch by gliding into the box and toe-flicking home his first World Cup goal. The moment was sweet for Reyna, who barely played at the Qatar World Cup amid a messy family dispute with former U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter.

Dozens of American celebrities and cultural icons turned out for the match 10 miles south of Hollywood, including Tom Cruise, George Lucas, Bill Gates, Halle Berry, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
