Three goals by Tim Weah helped USA to an emphatic 5-0 victory over Paraguay in their Round of 16 clash at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi tonight. USA created the better chances and led at the break through Weah’s strike on 19 minutes.
They doubled their advantage shortly after the break, with Weah scoring his second of the match and a real candidate for goal of the tournament. Andrew Carleton added a third goal before supplying captain Josh Sargent to make it four, then Weah for his hat-trick, as USA secured their berth in the last eight and a trip to Goa to face either England or Japan in the quarter-finals on Saturday
