Former Minnesota United striker Christian Ramirez received his second invitation to the United States Men’s National Team January camp, this time under new head coach Gregg Berhalter.

Ramirez picked up his first cap in the first friendly against Panama, entering play in the 84th minute.

His debut would go on to become a dream one as he tapped in the United States’ third goal of the evening.

Ramirez was traded to Los Angeles FC last season.
