The United States men’s national team pulled off an unlikely 4-1 away win in Honduras for their first victory in this World Cup qualifying cycle. After a horrendous first half that saw them down 1-0 with very little hope of creating anything, major halftime changes flipped the match on its head.
Ricardo Pepi will garner the majority of the headlines on his USMNT debut after scoring the winning goal. The teenage Mexican-American started and made a huge impact in the second half. Not only did he rise up with a perfect header for the winning goal, he played a huge role in setting up the insurance tally by Brenden Aaronson to secure the three points.
