The USA was five minutes away from losing control of its World Cup 2018 qualifying campaign when Bobby Wood scored to salvage a 1-1 tie with Honduras that keeps the teams tied in the standings. Wood was one of three players who had an impact off the bench.

Unbeaten in its last four World Cup qualifiers, the USA took it on chin in New Jersey. Marco Urena, who plays his club ball for the San Jose Earthquakes, scored one goal in each half to give Costa Rica a 2-0 win.
