The United States earned an all-important three points on Thursday as they overpowered El Salvador 1-0 using one of their strongest XIs to date.
Antonee Robinson’s 52nd-minute goal separated the two sides as the United States temporarily move into first place in Concacaf qualifying, with Canada involved with Honduras at the time of writing.
The match also featured the oft-injured Jordan Morris participating in a World Cup qualifier for the first time in four-and-a-half years as he came on as a second-half substitute.
El Salvador’s latest defeat sees them remain on just six points, which will likely see them miss the World Cup for the 10th straight time.
