The U.S. Men’s National Team’s 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup roster is set to be named in a week’s time and a number of players on the 40-man preliminary roster made cases for inclusion.

At midweek, Graham Zusi served up a great corner kick for Ike Opara to head home and open the scoring in the 43rd minute of Sporting KC’s 4-0 U.S. Open Cup win against Minnesota United FC. Later in the match, new U.S. citizen Dom Dwyer tallied his sixth goal across all competitions when he slotted home the third in the 72nd minute as the three-time champions eased to victory.

At the weekend, Gold Cup hopeful Cristian Roldan worked through the soggy conditions at Yankee Stadium to score Seattle’s lone goal in the 40th minute of their 2-1 defeat to New York City FC.

North of the border, Jozy Altidore returned from U.S. MNT duty to reconnect with Sebastian Giovinco, the Italian international providing a picture-perfect ball that allowed the veteran forward to bag his seventh goal of the season in Toronto FC’s 2-0 win against D.C. United.

Later that night, defender Jonathan Spector headed home a corner kick from Matías Pérez García to equalize in the 94th minute of Orlando City SC’s 3-3 draw with Montreal Impact. The goal was Spector’s first since joining the Lions earlier this season from Birmingham City.
