Antonee Robinson’s first international goal set the wheels in motion for the United States to come from behind to defeat Honduras on Wednesday.
The USMNT found themselves trailing at the interval in San Pedro Sula, but Robinson was rewarded for a trademark burst forward when a loose ball dropped his way – the left-back sending a calm right footed volley between goalkeeper and defenders to precisely find the inside of the far post.
That set the tone for the second period as the States hit three more goals to secure their first World Cup qualifying win in style and move up to third in the standings.

In the European qualifying section, it was a frustrating evening all round for Harry Wilson and Wales.
Not only did they come up against a resolute Estonia side in Cardiff, with visiting goalkeeper – Arsenal’s Karl Hein – in inspired form, but Wilson had to be replaced after just 36 minutes due to a head injury.
Estonia actually had the better chance in the opening half when former Fulham man Mattias Kait hit the woodwork, but on the balance of play the Welsh will see the goalless draw as two points dropped.
They sit third in Group E, but have games in hand on the two sides above them.
Wales boss Rob Page gave the following update on Wilson at full-time: “He’s okay. Protocols are in place for a head injury, he was fully aware of that.
“He didn’t feel right and he had to come off. It was blurred vision, I think. He’s been assessed and things will be sorted out for him before he goes back to his club.
“The medical team made him fully aware, he wasn’t comfortable and he had to come off.”
