CONCACAF
Gold
Cup
and
Nations
League
champions
the
USA
had
drawn
their
opening
two
fixtures
on
the
road
to
Qatar
2022
but
goals
from
Antonee
Robinson,
Ricardo
Pepi,
Brenden
Aaronson
and
Sebastian
Lletget
kick-started
their
campaign.
After
cancelling
out
Bryan
Moya’s
27th-minute
opener,
the
USA
are
third
in
the
Octagonal
standings,
level
on
five
points
with
Canada
and
Panama,
and
two
points
behind
leaders
Mexico.
Honduras
went
into
the
match
having
not
beaten
the
USA
since
their
2-1
World
Cup
qualifying
victory
in
2013.
Just
a
great
finish
from
@Antonee_Jedi.We’re
all
tied
up
here
in
Honduras.

But
Honduras
took
the
lead
approaching
the
half-hour
mark
thanks
to
a
diving
Moya,
who
glanced
a
header
beyond
USA
goalkeeper
Matthew
Turner
on
Wednesday.
The
USA
lacked
any
real
purpose
or
drive
in
the
first
half,
but
they
emerged
with
renewed
vigour
in
the
second
half
–
the
visitors
restoring
parity
within
three
minutes
courtesy
of
Robinson’s
volley
following
a
goal-mouth
scramble.
Never
in
the
USA’s
history
had
they
drawn
three
consecutive
matches
–
dating
back
to
1916
–
and
avoided
doing
so
as
teenage
sensation
Pepi’s
header
gave
the
visitors
a
2-1
lead
with
15
minutes
remaining.
Aaronson
put
the
result
beyond
doubt
in
the
86th
minute
before
Lletget’s
goal
in
the
third
minute
of
stoppage
time
sealed
a
12th
successive
game
without
defeat
under
Gregg
Berhalter.
