The United States Men’s National Team took on El Salvador for a cold match in Columbus as part of World Cup qualifying, and walked away with a 1-0 victory. While it wasn’t the kind of dominant display that we were hoping, it’s still three points and puts the USMNT a step closer to qualifying for the World Cup.
For the US, the game was fairly frustrating. They were able to make a few chances in the first half, particularly a big chance for Jesús Ferreira to tap in that he couldn’t put on frame. In the second half, the US was able to take the lead after Antonee Robinson buried a loose ball in the box after a good chance from Tim Weah.
