WCQ: Antigua & Barbuda 1 – USA 2

October 12, 2012 by US Soccer Players

The US beat Antigua & Barbuda 2-1 in CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying on Oct 12th.

Eddie Johnson scored both goals on a troubling night for the United States against Antigua & Barbuda.  Johnson opened the scoring in the 20th minute at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.  Antigua & Barbuda equalized in the 25th minute, and the USA seemed unable to put together attacking moves on the tiny field in North Sound.  With the game in stoppage time, Johnson scored the winner.  The USA hosts Guatemala on October 16th in Kansas City.

“The field was very small,” Johnson said. “We’re a good team pressuring up high and using our pace and creativity in attack. This pitch doesn’t allow you to play that way. It’s very small, it’s hard to run in behind, it’s hard to stretch their back four when they sit really deep. We knew it was going to be a tough game. These games aren’t easy. It’s a 90-minute game and we were able to do it tonight.”
