In a dominant performance, Jesus Ferreira nets a hat trick as the United States thrashes St. Kitts and Nevis 6-0 in the Gold Cup, matching their largest-ever victory margin. The Americans assert their superiority early, with Djordje Mihailovic, Bryan Reynolds, and Ferreira finding the back of the net within minutes.

With his second goal securing a commanding 4-0 lead at halftime, Jesus Ferreira's hat trick in the 50th minute further solidified the United States' position. Notably, he became the fastest U.S. player to score 10 international goals in just 20 games, surpassing the milestone before being substituted by Brandon Vazquez. As the team aimed to secure a favorable goal-differential tiebreaker against Jamaica, Ferreira's performance carried added significance.

Following his exceptional four-goal performance against Grenada in the Nations League last year, Jesus Ferreira has now accomplished a remarkable feat, joining Clint Dempsey as the only player in USMNT history to have multiple three-plus goal games in competitive matches. This achievement also places Ferreira in the elite company of Landon Donovan (3), Jozy Altidore (2), Peter Millar (2), and Dempsey (2) as the fifth USMNT player to record two or more career hat tricks.

In the 79th minute, Mihailovic sealed the scoring with his second goal, capping off an impressive performance. He came close to adding another goal in the final moments of the game.

With this victory, the United States is now level with Jamaica at the top of Group A, both teams accumulating four points. However, the U.S. holds a three-goal advantage in goal differential. Prior to the U.S. win in St. Louis, Jamaica secured a 4-1 victory over Trinidad and Tobago.

The United States concludes its group stage matches on Sunday in Charlotte against Trinidad and Tobago.
