On a shockingly cold night in St Paul, the United States shutout Honduras 3-0 in Concacaf World Cup qualifying. Weston McKennie headed in a 7th minute goal to open the scoring with Walker Zimmerman doubling the lead in the 37th minute. Playing the role of super sub, Christian Pulisic entered the game in the 64th and scored in the 67th minute. USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner didn’t need a save to keep the clean sheet.

“It was a great performance from the team today, Pulisic told FS1. “Obviously, we struggled a bit with set pieces and that was really big for us today, especially with the conditions. So yeah, it was a really important three points.”

Elsewhere in Concacaf, Costa Rica beat Jamaica 1-0 at home on a 62nd minute Joel Campbell goal. Canada shutout El Salvador 2-0 on the road. Atiba Hutchinson scored in the 66th and Jonathan David added a goal three minutes into stoppage time. Mexico beat Panama 1-0 at home from an 80th minute Raul Jimenez penalty.

The results leave the table the same as it was at the beginning of the window. Canada extends its lead to 25 points. The US is ahead of Mexico in 2nd-place on goal difference with both tied on 21 points. Panama holds the playoff spot with 17 points. Qualifying resumes on March 24.

The @USMNT picked up a huge 3 points in Minnesota thanks to goals from McKennie, Zimmerman & Pulisic 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
