The United States thrashed the St Vincent and the Grenadines 6-1 in World Cup qualifying after being given an early scare on Friday.
The minnows took a shock fifth-minute lead through Oalex Anderson, but that was as good as it got for the visitors at the Busch Stadium.
Bobby Wood, Fabian Johnson and Jozy Altidore had Jurgen Klinsmann's men ahead before half-time in St Louis.
Geoff Cameron and Gyasi Zardes got on the scoresheet before the hour-mark and Altidore completed his brace as a dominant USA made the ideal start in Group C.
The class difference was on show after the early scare, but USA still scored three of their six goals from set-pieces.
Darlington Nagbe came on for his international debut in the second half for USA, who ended a three-game losing run.
