United States forward Clint Dempsey helped his team start their Gold Cup title defence with a 2-1 victory over Honduras at the Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas.
The three points in the opening Group A encounter has got the Americans to a perfect start in the tournament, while the goals gave Dempsey a measure of instant rehabilitation after he lost the captaincy to Michael Bradley for his Open Cup referee rant last month.
Jubilant with the victory, US head coach Jurgen Klinsmann said that they made a decision and he was absolutely on board with that.
