CNL Quarterfinals Winner is decided by aggregate result of two games , home and away . The result of USMNT 3 x 0 T & T on the 1 st Leg at Q2 Stadium in Austin , TX , on November 16 , 2023 , we can check as well done . Trinidad now needs to win at home by 4 x 0 in order to win this round of the competition .
The Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinals will determine the four teams advancing to the Concacaf Nations League Finals , scheduled for March 2024 , and the first four Concacaf teams that will qualify for the CONMEBOL Copa America USA 2024 .
The cup , CONCACAF NATIONS LEAGUE — CNL , was created to maximize the quality , quantity , and frequency of competitive matches for all of Concacaf ’ s 41 Member Associations . The 2023-24 Concacaf Nations League , which commenced in September , has a revamped format to include more direct elimination matches that will qualify teams
to continental summer competitions .
The 2023-24 CNL will continue to be played in a three- League format ( A , B , and C ), with the region ’ s 41 men ’ s senior national teams distributed into the Leagues according to the results of the 2022-23 CNL .
The USA will compete in League A , which has been expanded to include 16 teams ( up from 12 ) and a new quarterfinal round has been created to deliver more direct elimination matches .
USMNT took all the steps to prepare for these two critical matches . The concern is due to the fact that the opponent , Trinidad & Tobago , is a “ black cat ” to cross USMNT ’ s pass when an important goal is on the line . Still fresh in our memory the big upset in 2018 taking US out of World Cup .
The first step is the home game stadium , and U . S . chose Q2 Stadium , the house of MLS — Austin FC , in Austin , Texas .
Q2 Stadium has hosted USMNT matches in three different official competitions , with all three previous visits ending in shutout victories in front of sold-out crowds . Gyasi Zardes bagged an 86th minute winner in the 1 x 0 win against Qatar in the semifinal of team ’ s run to the 2021 Gold Cup title . Three months later , 18-year-old forward Ricardo Pepi scored twice to spark the USA to a 2 x 0 shutout win against Jamaica in World Cup Qualifying .
In June of last year , Jesús Ferreira ’ s four goals propelled the USA to a 5 x 0 rout of Grenada as the team began its successful 2022-23 Concacaf Nations League campaign . Ferreira ’ s four goals tied a team record for most goals in a game , with the win extending the USMNT ’ s unbeaten streak on U . S . soil to 26 straight games , also tying the team ’ s record set from 2013-2015 .
