USA coach Bruce Arena was delighted with the display of striker Brian Ching during Friday's2-0 friendly victory against Venezuela.
The Hawaiian netted the first goal nine minutes before the break at the Cleveland Browns Stadium, with Clint Dempsey making sure of the win with a 69th-minute header.
"Ching got a goal and did a good job working for 90 minutes," said Arena.
"He did a good job holding the ball and drew some fouls, things our forwards have to do on a consistent basis, so it was good to see.
"I thought, to be honest, the first 15 to 20 minutes of the game tonight were shaky and then, once he got into it, he played well. Once he scored the goal, he played well."
