Fulham's player scored a crucial goal for the Stars and Stripes that could put an end to the team's absences in big competitions.

It was an eventful night for the American team at Lower.com Field, but the team coached by Gregg Berhalter managed to keep it together and maintain their chances of making it to the World Cup intact.

The Yanks struggled to open up the scoring in the first half, but it took them only seven minutes of the second one to score and eventually seal three more points for their cause. The man of the hour was none other than Antonee Robinson, who found the back of the net with a well-placed shot taken with his left foot.

Robinson's clutch goal kept the USMNT in the race to win the CONCACAF World Cup Octagonal with their clash against Canada just around the corner. If you missed it, have a look at the left-back's shot that was worth three points for Berhalter's team (Image might be geo-restricted).

After being eliminated from the 2018 FIFA World Cup by Panama, only a disastrous campaign in the final five games could deprive them from making the trip to Qatar, according to these stats.

The Stars and Stripes will now travel to Canada with the top spot in the group at stake against the Canucks.
