USMNT 3 – Trinidad and Tobago 0, Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal first-leg
The United States took a 3-0 first-leg lead over Trinidad and Tobago in the 2023-24 Concacaf Champions League quarterfinals at Austin’s Q2 Stadium on Thursday. Playing a man up from the 37th minute following a red card to Trinidad and Tobago’s Noah Powder, Ricardo Pepi scored for the United States in the 82nd minute. Antonee Robinson doubled the lead in the 86th and Gio Reyna finished off the USA goals in the 89th minute. USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner kept the clean sheet with Trinidad and Tobago finishing without a shot on goal. The series concludes in Port of Spain on Monday night.
“It’s going to be a different game,” Antonee Robinson told TNT Sports about the second-leg. “Concacaf away games are always tricky… but they’re going to have to chase a win now which might make the game a little bit more open.”
