Alex Zendejas and Folarin Balogun scored to give the United States a 2-0 victory over Japan on Tuesday in an international soccer friendly.
Zendejas scored in the 30th minute and Monaco striker Balogun added an insurance goal in the 64th minute as the Americans improved to 7-6 this year, along with one draw, after the triumph before 20,192 at Columbus, Ohio.
"Just waiting for my moment," said Zendejas, a winger for Mexico's Club America. "It's crazy to take all this in. I didn't expect to get called up. Just trying to take advantage of every opportunity."
