Tension continued to ramp up for the U . S . after the interval . Alvin Jones went from provider to scorer in the 57th minute when his knuckling free kick from 25 yards screamed past the U . S . defensive wall and off Turner ’ s fingertips before nestling in the back of the net . That put the hosts into the lead 2 x 1 on the night , but still down 4-2 on the aggregate . It was a lead Trinidad and Tobago held – but could not increase -- until the final whistle as the U . S . sealed a result to the Trinidad & Tobago for only the fourth time in history .
