U.S. thumps China 4-1 in exhibition
Benny Feilhaber scored his first goal for the U.S. national team and assisted on another to help the Americans tune up for a busy summer of tournaments with a 4-1 victory over China in an exhibition Saturday night.
Feilhaber was among five U.S. starters who entered with five or fewer national team appearances. All made key contributions, with Feilhaber also assisting on Clint Dempsey's second-half goal.
Sacha Kljestan, making his national team debut, set up Feilhaber's goal in the 28th minute that gave the United States a 2-1 lead. Michael Bradley, the son of new U.S. coach Bob Bradley, set up DaMarcus Beasley's penalty-kick goal to open the scoring in the 10th minute, and defenders Jonathan Bornstein and Jonathan Spector made key contributions from the back line.
