CALIFORNIA AND MIAMI, Jun 12 (AP): The US soccer team keeps on winning, even though the Americans are not impressing.
Despite a depleted defence and a tepid attack, the US advanced to the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup with a 2-0 victory Saturday over Trinidad and Tobago.
Brian Ching scored in the first half and Landon Donovan set up Eddie Johnson for a second-half goal.
Ching scored his fifth international goal in the 29th minute off a long pass from Justin Mapp, and Johnson doubled the lead in the 54th.
The Americans, who finish the opening round tomorrow against El Salvador, used 10 different starters from Thursday's opening 1-0 win over Guatemala. Midfielder Benny Feilhaber was the lone holdover.
Saturday's reported sellout crowd of 27,000 was largely due to Guatemala's 1-0 victory over El Salvador earlier in the day, but the US had a majority of the Southern California fans pulling for them, a rarity in a tournament that features mostly Latin American teams that are extremely popular in the region.
Meanwhile Jocelyn Angloma and David Fleurival scored in the first half and Guadeloupe held off Canada for a 2-1 victory in their Gold Cup group match Saturday night.
Guadeloupe took a 2-1 lead into the second half and withstood Canada's attempts to equalise.
The victory gives Guadeloupe four points after two Group A matches played in the Orange Bowl in Miami. Guadeloupe drew with Haiti in their first match.
Canada remain on three points following a 2-1 victory over Costa Rica in their first group match.
Later Saturday night Alexandre Boucicaut's goal with 18 minutes remaining in the second half helped Haiti salvage their second 1-1 draw of the tournament.
Costa Rica, who needed three points to move up in the Group A standings after a 2-1 loss against Costa Rica Wednesday, applied repeated pressure early in the second half but were denied by diving saves from Haiti goalkeeper Gabart Fenelon.
