Juventus winger, Timothy Weah thrilled fans at GEODIS Park with a brilliant display of skill during the USA versus Ghana friendly in Nashville, Tennessee.

However, it was his lovely piece of skill in a one-on-one situation with Ghanaian defender, Alidu Seidu that got the home fans roaring in excitement.

In a video shared on social media, Weah perfectly lofted the ball over his marker before bursting his way forward as the Americans went on the attack.

The pacy forward was a menace for the Ghana defence throughout, forcing coach Chris Hughton to substitute left-back, Gideon Mensah right after the break.

Meanwhile, in a blistering first-half performance, it was Giovanni Reyna who opened the scoring after 10 minutes before Pulisic converted from the spot eight minutes later.

Weah served Balogun with the assist for the USA's third goal four minutes later before Reyna sealed the victory by completing his brace, as reported by ESPN.
