A tale of two halves ended in victory for the United States men's national soccer team on Wednesday as the Americans defeated Honduras 4-1 to earn their first win in 2022 World Cup qualifying.
Ricardo Pepi, an 18-year-old FC Dallas striker making his senior team debut, scored the game-winning goal. He also had a hand in the United States' other three goals to cap his sensational national team start.
The United States trailed 1-0 at halftime thanks to a 27th-minute goal from Honduras striker Brayan Moya, but Antonee Robinson, Pepi, Brenden Aaronson and Sebastian Lletget each scored in the second half to give the Americans the win at Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
