Antonee Robinson was heroic scoring the only goal the USMNT would need to defeat the El Salvador National Soccer Team on Thursday night at Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio.

The win placed the U.S. squad in second place in World Cup regional qualifying with 18 points, one behind Canada. They will travel to play Canada Sunday to try to improve their record of 5–3–1 against the current CONCACAF leaders.
