USMNT fans will widely agree and say it was an alright performance from the team and a slight improvement from Saturday’s 3-0 win vs. Uzbekistan.
Let’s get into the highlights and takeaways.
UPDATE: Neymar did record an assist vs. Peru meaning that he has tied the record.
American fans were rather surprised this week to learn that United States men’s national team legend Landon Donovan holds the all-time international record for most assists with 58.
