This is just it. We won a WCQ away (against a respectable opponent) for the first time in 20+ years and neither wonder kid was at their best. They’ll learn.

But speaking of a first away game in CONCACAF ... Eustaquio wow. Hard to believe this was just his 5th cap what a player. 

Very believable, but I'm curious which teams, and how bad they were, we have beaten this century away from home in WCQ. So I'm making a list! Number in parentheses is their FIFA ranking within CONCACAF at the time of the draw or the time of the game, whichever is easier for me to find.

2002 - Cuba (9)
2006 - Guatemala (6) (Guatemala had already clinched the next round, and we were already eliminated)
2010 - Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (13)
2014 - Puerto Rico (19), St. Lucia (29), Cuba (6)
2018 - Dominica (25)
2022 - Haiti (10)

So 2 wins against Cuba are the only away wins (not counting neutral sites) that are in the conversation for level of opponent, not counting the dead rubber against Guatemala. Hopefully there are some more away wins to come in this World Cup qualifying for us! Let's get the job done on Tuesday and find out in the coming months!
