David Rugamas scored a
pair of first-half goals, California
born Joshua Perez added
another and El Salvador won
4-0 at St. Kitts and Nevis on
Saturday, moving into commanding
position to advance in
World Cup qualifying.
The United States will be
the opponent for the winner of
the total-goals, second-round
matchup when the final round
of World Cup qualifying starts
on Sept. 2. It will be the first
14 games for the teams in the
final round.
No. 69 El Salvador hosts the
second leg against St. Kitts
and Nevis on Wednesday. The
game against the U.S. will be a
home contest for the team that
advances.
Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras
and Jamaica also are in the
eight-nation final round of the
North and Central American
region.
Rugamas scored in the third
and 27th minutes. Perez, a
23-year-old born in Montebello,
California, scored in the
20th.
Joshua Perez played for the
U.S. alongside Christian Pulisic
at the 2015 Under-17 World
Cup. He switched to El Salvador’s
under-23 team this year
and made his senior national
team debut on June 5.
Joshua Perez is a nephew
of Hugo Perez, a former U.S.
national team player who took
over as El Salvador’s national
team coach in April.
Darwin Ceren of the Houston
Dynamo converted a penalty
kick in the 64th minute
against 135th-ranked St. Kitts.
In another first-leg match,
Cyle Larin scored in the 14th
minute in No. 70 Canada’s 1-0
win over No. 83 Haiti in Portau
Prince.
Canada’s second leg against
Haiti on Wednesday will be
played at Bridgeview, Illinois,
because of Canadian government
coronavirus travel
restrictions.
Also, No. 78 Panama defeated
No. 76 Curacao 2-1 in Panama
City on goals by Alberto
Quintero in the 55th minute
and Cecilio Waterman in the
77th. Rangelo Janga scored for
Curacao in the 87th.
The top three CONCACAF
teams qualify for the 2022
tournament in Qatar, and the
fourth-place team advances to
a playoff.
