So far, so good on the return of Bruce Arena as manager of the USMNT. Sebastian Lletget scored a tap-in after Honduran goalkeeper Donis Escober saved Christian Pulisic’s shot, Michael Bradley scored a brilliant solo goal from distance and then Pulisic provided a wonderfully linked assist to Clint Dempsey, the Texan returning to international duty after missing the opening two games of the Hex with an irregular heartbeat.
Sebastian Lletget’s first USMNT goal:

Michael Bradley goes alone:
Bradley: Nobody wants to tackle me?
Honduras: Nah we're good.

If this score holds, the United States will climb from sixth to fourth in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying. Crisis averted.
