Jesus Ferreira made a bit of history for the United States men’s national team on Sunday night as they advanced to the knockout stage of the Gold Cup.
“I’m happy. I’m excited,” Ferreira told ESPN after the game. “Obviously, this is a team objective. I wouldn’t be able to score goals without my teammates putting me in situations where I can score goals.
“So, from the beginning, we knew that this game was going to be intense. We have to bring the intensity, we have to be the team that can set the tempo and I think we did that.” Sunday marked the third time in his USMNT career that he has scored a hat trick, tying him for the most in a career with American soccer star Landon Donovan.
