United States Crush Peru 4-1 in Orlando Friendly

Orlando provided the setting for a one-sided international night as the United States swept aside Peru 4-1 during the FIFA window.

The North Americans took control against a Peru side coached by Mano Menezes, turning the match into a convincing home victory rather than a closely balanced friendly.

For Peru, the defeat was a difficult outing away from South America and a reminder of the work facing Menezes with his national team. The United States, meanwhile, used the occasion to deliver an emphatic result in Florida.
