The United States fell behind in the opening minute to Costa Rica at Lower.com Field, but came back in a 2-1 World Cup qualifying win. Keysher Fuller scored Costa Rica’s goal with Sergino Dest equalizing in the 25th. A strong shot from Timothy Weah put the USA up for good in the 66th, credited as an own-goal to Costa Rica backup goalkeeper Leonel Moreira. Costa Rica starting goalkeeper Keylor Nevas had to sub out at halftime.

“I was just so happy,” Dest told ESPN. “We needed that goal and we needed to win that game because the points are important. We all want to go to the World Cup, so I think it was a really important goal.”
