NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The United States began its final series of World Cup warmup games with a 1-0 loss to Morocco on Tuesday night in which the most significant event was yet another injury to U.S. captain Claudio Reyna.

Mohamed Madihi, who entered in the 60th minute, scored for the 36th-ranked Atlas Lions in the 90th minute off a pass from Bouchaib El Moubarki after the U.S. defense got caught up field. Madihi, who was wide open, easily put the ball over goalkeeper Kasey Keller.

It was a dismal night for the Americans, who generated only a few good scoring chances. Reyna hobbled off with a strained right hamstring in the 17th minutes, and the extent of his injury was not immediately known.

The best American opportunity came in the 82nd minute, when Landon Donovan's 25-yard shot was parried by goalkeeper Tarek El Jarmouni. With an open net, Eddie Johnson got little on the ball as he shanked the rebound. Bobby Convey hit the side of the net on a 25-yard free kick in second-half injury time.

Morocco, one of Africa's stronger teams, did not qualify for the 32-nation World Cup field. Before leaving for Germany on June 1, the fifth-ranked United States faces two more teams that didn't make the tournament: Venezuela on Friday in Cleveland and Latvia on Sunday in East Hartford, Conn.

Reyna was fouled from behind about eight minutes in, and was hurt about three minutes later stretching to reach a ball, according to the U.S. team. He repeatedly put his hand behind his thigh and went down to his left knee, extending the other leg in an attempt to shake off the injury.

He was replaced by Pablo Mastroeni, flipping the captain's armband to Donovan before coming off the field.

Reyna was limited to 23 games last season with Manchester City in England's Premier League. He injured his right knee and ankle Oct. 22 at Arsenal, and returned Dec. 4 and played four games. But three days after a Dec. 26 match, he said tests revealed his right ankle was still broken.

He returned to action March 5, but in his third game after coming back he injured his right shoulder March 18 against Wigan. He came back April 8 and started the final six games of the season.

Reyna, a 32-year-old midfielder, is among only seven players in this year's tournament appearing on a World Cup roster for the fourth time. In 1994, he missed the entire tournament with a right hamstring injury.

Four years ago, the warmup games proved costly for the United States. Midfielder Chris Armas tore an anterior cruciate ligament against Uruguay and his likely replacement, Greg Vanney, injured a knee four days later against Jamaica. That created an opening for Steve Cherundolo was added to the roster.

Cherundolo, who played right back in the first half, pushed up to midfield in the second as the United States switched from four midfielders to five. Brian McBride and Josh Wolff started up front, with Donovan behind them as an attacking midfielder.

Cory Gibbs started at left back in place of likely World Cup starter Eddie Lewis, who rejoined the team after playing Sunday for Leeds United in its playoff loss to Watford at Cardiff, Wales.

The first half was dull -- Morocco's Hicham Mahdoufi had the first shot in the 22nd minute and McBride had the first U.S. shot in the 25th. The best American play was in the 27th, when John O'Brien played a through ball to an open Donovan, who couldn't get a foot on the ball.

O'Brien, coming off a string of injuries, had several effective passes in the first half, then was replaced by Bobby Convey. DaMarcus Beasley, on the left wing, had a good two-way game and Cherundolo made a number of penetrating runs.

Wolff, wide on the right, had a good chance in the 57th following a Donovan pass to Cherundolo, who crossed, but Wolff was stopped by El Jarmouni.

Johnson, who replaced Wolff in the 60th, put a header just over the crossbar in the 67th off a Convey corner kick.
