(Reuters) - The United States beat Cuba 2-0 on Friday in the first friendly between the two countries for 69 years in a match that will be remembered mainly for the poor quality of the Havana pitch. The U.S. triumphed thanks to second-half goals by veteran Chris Wondolowski and Bayern Munich youngster Julian Green. The U.S. played Cuba in World Cup qualifiers in 2008, and the two teams have since met in the Gold Cup, but this was the first friendly between them since 1947.
