The USA faced Trinidad & Tobago in yet another “just don’t totally screw it up” matchup between the teams. For those unfamiliar, there’s history between these teams in matches like this. In this rendition, the USA needed to advance to the semis in order to get to the Copa America next year. The first step would be winning the first leg in Austin, Texas.
The USA lined up in a 4-2-3-1 with Gio Reyna playing the no. 10 role and Cameron Carter-Vickers paired with Tim Ream at center back.
