United States came from behind to thrash St Vincent
and the Grenadines as Mexico comfortably beat El
Salvador.
The United States thrashed St Vincent and the Grenadines 6-1 in
CONCACAF World Cup qualifying after being given an early
scare on Friday.
The minnows took a shock fifth-minute lead through Oalex
Anderson, but that was as good as it got for the visitors at the
Busch Stadium.
Bobby Wood, Fabian Johnson and Jozy Altidore had Jurgen
Klinsmann's men ahead before half-time, as Geoff Cameron,
Gyasi Zardes and Altidore – again – completed a dominant
performance as USA made the ideal start in Group C.
Mexico, meanwhile, began their campaign with a routine 3-0
victory over El Salvador at the Estadio Azteca.
Andres Guardado opened the scoring after seven minutes with a
perfectly executed free-kick before Hector Herrera doubled the
hosts' advantage moments before the interval.
Carlos Vela wrapped up all three points on the hour-mark as he
collected Jesus Corona's slipped pass to chip in his 15th
international goal.
Elsewhere, Canada held on to seal a 1-0 win over Honduras in
Vancouver and Jamaica were beaten 2-0 at home to Panama.
Trinidad and Tobago secured a 2-1 victory away to Guatemala
and Costa Rica squeezed past Haiti 1-0.
