Follow live: USMNT takes lead over Peru on Justin Ellis' goal in the fourth minute

The US Men's National Team is off to a flying start against Peru, with Justin Ellis scoring a goal in the fourth minute to give the Americans an early lead. This is a great start for the USMNT, who have been looking to bounce back from some tough results in recent months. The team has been under pressure to perform, and this early goal could help to ease some of that pressure and give them a boost of confidence.

The USMNT has been rebuilding and trying to find its footing under new management, and a strong performance against a solid opponent like Peru would be a great step in the right direction. Peru is a team that has consistently punched above its weight in recent years, making this a significant test for the USMNT. If they can hold onto this lead and potentially add to it, it would be a great statement win for the team.

What's next to watch is how the USMNT defends its lead and whether it can maintain its level of performance over the course of the game. Peru will likely push hard to try and equalize, and the USMNT will need to be solid at the back to hold out. We'll also be keeping an eye on the USMNT's attacking play and whether they can add to their lead and make this a convincing win.
