The United States men’s national team got the job done on Thursday night, topping El Salvador 1-0 in a crucial World Cup qualifier that leaves the Americans in an envious spot. With five games to go, they are approaching lock status for a ticket to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. It was Antonee Robinson’s second-half winner that helped the U.S. to their third win in their last four games.
But how did each player perform in this one for Gregg Berhalter? Here are our player ratings for the match for every starter, substitute the manager.
All ratings are out of 10, and the higher the number the better. For instance: A zero would be a first-minute red card, and a 10 would be a dominant hat trick.

USMNT ratings
|
(GK) Matt Turner |
90 |
He did not have to make a single save on the night. It was a game where he was just a spectator, but he’ll gladly take the clean sheet. |
6 |
|
(DEF) Sergino Dest |
90 |
Decent but not great. Continues to offer more going forward than in defense. Often a liability with his positioning. |
5 |
|
(DEF) Walker Zimmerman |
90 |
He didn’t have to record a tackle because next to nothing came his way. Was solid in his duels, won everything in the air and made no mistakes. Solid. |
6 |
|
(DEF) Chris Richards |
90 |
Not too sharp in his duels but stepped up when needed. Calm on the ball and plays way beyond his years. |
6 |
|
(DEF) Antonee Robinson |
90 |
Scored the game-winning goal with a solid strike in the box in the second half. Also did so well… |
