The US outing on Timothy Weah's hat-trick to thrash an otherwise undefeated Paraguay 5-0 to complete an evening where goals rained throughout the night here in the Capital on Monday. Paraguay, who had a 100 per cent record in the league stage, looked in complete disorder as a go wild Americans never lifted their foot off the pedal to showcase probably the best performance by a team here. The day would certainly be remembered by one man, Weah Jr, as his father and Ballon d'Or winner George Weah is locked in an intense battle with his rivals for the presidential elections in Liberia.

Weah Jr looked in no such tension as he ripped apart the Paraguayan defense in the most brutal manner in this part of the world. Weah Jr scored in the 19th, 53rd and 77th minute while mid-fielder Andrew Carleton and captain. Josh Sargent compounded the misery of Paraguayans by making it five-nil by scoring in the 63rd and 74th minute, respectively. The US kept ball possession for 57 percent and had huge success in converting five out of total six shots on the target. Weah Jr has recently signed a three-year contract with Paris St-Germain (PSG) club of France. The US will either face England or Japan in the quarterfinals on Saturday
