For USA fans, it's bittersweet relief, because we all know their history on the island of Trinidad in matches where they need a result to qualify for a major world tournament.The key to the evening, though, was showing that the USMNT can in fact find a result <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/usmnt-gregg-berhalter-christian-pulisic-timothy-weah-injury-updates-roster/blt8a35c0be68085319#cs2423048455eab8a9" target="_blank">without starting star wingers Christian Pulisic and Tim Weah</a>. The Soca Warriors were incredibly composed and should be applauded for their defensive showing. Ultimately, though, it was impressive how focused Berhalter's side stayed and how influential his substitutes were; Brenden Aaronson and Pepi changed the game.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The squad now hits the road for Monday's match in leg two of the series vs Trinidad in Port-of-Spain. Get over the line on Monday and the USMNT will qualify for the 2024 Copa America - a huge achievement for Berhalter's squad.
