Reyna scores twice as U.S. beats Ghana

Gio Reyna scored his first two international goals since a feud with coach

Gregg Berhalter erupted at last year's World Cup, leading the United States to a 4-0 rout of Ghana in an exhibition on Tuesday night in Nashville. Tenn.

Reyna put the U.S. ahead in the 10th minute, Christian Pulisic doubled the lead with a penalty kick in the 19th, and Folarin Balogun scored in the 22nd to give the Americans three goals in a 12-minute span. Reyna scored again in the 39th for his sixth international goal and first twogoal game for the U.S.

Reyna has been regaining fitness since fracturing a leg in June and played the first half for the second straight match. The 20-year-old midfielder's first game under Berhalter since the controversy was in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Germany.

A son of former U.S. captain Claudio Reyna and American midfielder Danielle Egan, Gio Reyna was limited to a pair of substitute appearances in Qatar. Berhalter said during a management conference after the tournament he nearly sent a player home from for lack of effort during training, remarks clearly about Reyna.

Reyna's parents contacted the U.S. Soccer Federation about a three-decades-old domestic violence allegation involving Berhalter and the woman who later became his wife. Berhalter was replaced by a pair of interim coaches and, after a law firm retained by the USSF determined he did not improperly withhold information when he was hired in 2018, was rehired in June to resume coaching in September.

• Former U.S. captain Michael Bradley will retire from soccer at age 36 after Toronto FC's season finale on Saturday.

A son of former U.S. coach Bob Bradley, the midfielder scored 17 goals in 151 international appearances from 2006-19. He has played for Toronto since 2014 and helped the team win the 2017 Major League Soccer title.

Bradley also played for MLS' MetroStars (2004-05), the Netherlands' Heerenveen (2006-08), Germany's Borussia Mönchengladbach (2008-11), England's Aston Villa (2011) and Italy's Chievo Verona (2011-12) and Roma (2012-14).

He played for the U.S. at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups and captained the team during the unsuccessful qualifying campaign for the 2018 tournament.

• Neymar was in tears as he left the field with a left knee injury at the end of the first half of Brazil's 2-0 World Cup qualifying loss at Uruguay.

The 31-year-old striker tripped and fell during a run in the 44th minute and was immediately surrounded by players from both teams as he held his knee.

Neymar was carried off on a stretcher with both of his hands on his face. The Brazilian star used crutches as he left the stadium.

Brazil's doctor Rodrigo Lasmar told reporters it was too early to determine the severity of Neymar's injury.

Neymar made his national team debut in 2010 and has 79 goals in 128 appearances for Brazil.
