Ricardo Pepi scores two minutes after coming on in the second half and Americans make it stand up in a 1-0 win that sends them into Nationals League semifinals.
By almost every metric, particularly head-to-head history, the Americans should not have found themselves locked in a tense affair with El Salvador at Exploria Stadium.
Under Hugo Pérez, a U.S. Hall of Famer, El Salvador has provided stiffer competition than the series record suggests.[at Grenada on Friday] and playing at home, the confidence is high,” interim coach Anthony Hudson said. “But they’re a tough team to play against. The coach always has a very clear plan, and, yeah, they made it very difficult for us.”Pérez — a Salvadoran American who was on the 1994 U.S. World Cup squad and has coached U.S.
The visitors were outmatched but determined, and in the second minute, Jairo Henriquez’s bid from the top of the box forced Matt Turner to make a diving save.
