Benjamin Cremaschi’s career took a new step this week. The player, born in Miami to Argentine parents, fulfilled a dream this Tuesday by debuting with the United States senior team. Wearing the No.15 shirt, the 18-year-old came on as a second half substitute in the 4-0 victory against Oman, a friendly played at Allianz Field in Minnesota.
The teenager entered the field in the 71st minute to replace Malik Tillman and form part of a midfield axis alongside Musah and McKennie. The USMNT were leading 2-0 and with Cremaschi on the field, the team increased their domination and added a couple of late goals to round of a perfect night.

Cremaschi became the sixth Inter Miami player involved in this month’s international fixtures, following Lionel Messi with Argentina, Sergiy Kryvtsov (Ukraine), Josef Martínez (Venezuela), Diego Gómez (Paraguay) and Robert Taylor (Finland).
All returned from their respective national teams without injury and should be available for Saturday’s clash against Atlanta.
