It was nearly a disaster for Gregg Berhalter's squad, who played a disastrous 95 minutes of soccer. It was a shambolic performance across the regulation period, and the last-ditch effort saved their hopes of making it to the CONCACAF Nations League finals.
With a bit of luck, and some perseverance, they scored with what was the final touch of the regulation period to send the match to extra-time.
Then, super-subs Gio Reyna and Haji Wright found their footing, with the Nottingham Forest midfielder assisting the Coventry City forward on two different occasions for a 3-1 victory across 120 minutes.
