US beats Trinidad 3-0 in 1st leg of Copa América qualifier as Pepi, Robinson and Reyna score late

Associated Press  

AUSTIN, Texas — The United States had been held even by Trinidad and Tobago into the 82nd minute despite a man advantage, raising the prospect a Copa América berth would depend on a victory next week on the Caribbean island where the U.S.'s 2018 World Cup campaign ended in failure. “I talked to the team about it being 180-minute game and we’re only halfway done,” U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter said after the first competitive match of his second term. “Being a Texas boy, it feels like I’m at home,” said Pepi, a 20-year-old from El Paso who scored twice on the same field in a 2021 World Cup qualifying win over Jamaica. The second leg will be at Port-of-Spain’s Hasely Crawford Stadium, 34 years and one day after Paul Caligiuri’s goal there lifted the U.S. to a 1-0 win and the Americans’ first World Cup appearance in 40 years.
