WCQ: Trinidad & Tobago 0 – USMNT 0

November 17, 2015 by US Soccer Players

The USMNT hit the crossbar twice in a scoreless draw with Trinidad & Tobago, taking a point from their first road game in the 2018 World Cup qualifying cycle. Group C is tight at the top with Guatemala beating St Vincent and the Grenadines 4-0 in Kingstown. In Port of Spain, it was Trinidad & Tobago looking strong early. Cardiff City player Kenwyne Jones looked strong for Trinidad & Tobago early, coming close to scoring in the 13th minute. The USMNT came out of halftime pressing the offense with Gyasi Zardes hitting the crossbar in the 47th minute. Jermaine Jones hit the crossbar in the 78th minute with a shot from distance.

USMNT coach Jurgen Klinsmann subbed on Darlington Nagbe in the 68th minute for Tim Ream. Bobby Wood came on in the 75th for Zardes. In a rarity for Klinsmann, he opted not to use all of his available substitutions.

With the point, the USMNT is ahead of Trinidad & Tobago at the top of the Group C table on goal difference +5 to +1. CONCACAF World Cup qualifying resumes in March with the USMNT playing Guatemala away on March 25 and at home on March 29th. The details for those games have yet to be announced.

Elsewhere in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, Mexico beat Honduras 2-0 away in Group A, the first time they’ve won at Estadio Olimpico in 50 years. Canada and Honduras finished 0-0 in Vancouver. In Group B, Costa Rica is top of the table with a 1-0 shutout of Haiti at home. Panama beat Jamaica 2-0 in Kingston.
