The U.S. men's national soccer team opened its 2025 campaign with a friendly match against Venezuela on Saturday. Here are the highlights and score.

The United States men’s national team won its first game of 2025, beating Venezuela 3-1 in a friendly at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. A pair of goals late in the first half gave the hosts a comfortable lead heading into the break.

New coach Mauricio Pochettino, like his predecessors, is using this period to evaluate the next generation of talent while Major League Soccer is in its early stages of preseason with 20 of the 21 players in camp representing 14 MLS clubs. The lone exception is the Miami-born Miljevic, who recently signed for Huracan of Argentina.

Patrick Agyemang and Matko Miljevic scored in their international debuts, Jack McGlynn got his first national team goal and the United States beat Venezuela 3-1 in a friendly between teams missing their regular starters.
