Solid Gold: USA routs Grenada
SEATTLE — The United States returned home from the FIFA Confederations Cup and used one of its youngest lineups in recent memory to rout Grenada 4-0 Saturday night as it opened the title defense in the regional championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean, the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Freddy Adu scored the opening goal in the seventh minute, and Stuart Holden doubled the lead in the 31st, both fed by Robbie Rogers.
Rogers scored in the 60th minute, and Charlie Davies, one of the few players kept on from the Confederations Cup, got the final goal in the 68th.
The 12th-ranked Americans, seeking their third straight Gold Cup title, outshot No. 88 Grenada 25-3.
