The United States wrapped up the second trio of games on Wednesday with a much-needed comeback win against Costa Rica. USMNT gave up a goal in the first minute, but rebounded to tie in the 25th minute. Leonel Moreira scored an own goal in 66th minute, which was the difference.

USA-Costa Rica was the first game of the evening, and so we await the remaining results. The US moves into a tie with Mexico, but Mexico is a sizable favorite against El Salvador in a match that kicks off at 10 p.m. ET.

Canada-Panama update: After giving up a goal five minutes in, Canada exploded for four goals and rolled to a 4-1 win. They move into third place, while Panama drops to fourth place.

Jamaica-Honduras update: Jamaica got its first win, beating Honduras 2-0.

Mexico-El Salvador update: El Tri beat El Salvador 2-0 to maintain their lead in the qualifying standings.

The top three teams receive automatic qualification to the 2022 World Cup. The fourth-place team goes to a playoff round among all the federations, scheduled to take place in June 2022. The USMNT returns to action on November 12 when they host Mexico in Cincinnati.
