Chris Richards' 2nd-half goal lifts the US over Saudi Arabia 1-0 and into the Gold Cup quarterfinals
AUSTIN, Texas — Defender Chris Richards scored with a flick of the ball off a second-half free kick to lift the United States to a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia on Thursday night, sending the Americans on to the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals. Richards tracked the ball as it flew into the box on a curving free kick from Sebastian Berhalter in the 62nd minute to tap the ball with his left foot past Saudi Arabia goalkeeper Nawaf Al Aquidi. The win, coupled with the 1-1 draw between Trinidad and Tobago and Haiti in Group D's other match Thursday in Houston, clinched a knockout berth for the Americans, who improved to 42-1-5 all time in group play. The U.S., which has won its group in 16 of 17 Gold Cups, closes Group D play Sunday against Haiti at Arlington, Texas. U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino stuck with the same lineup that produced a 5-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday, the first time he made no changes in consecutive matches since taking over the program in October. But playing against No. 58 Saudi Arabia, the 16th-ranked Americans showed little of the attack firepower they displayed against the No. 100 Soca Warriors. The match saw few real chances on goal by either team. The Americans had just one shot in the first half. Richards' speed to track back to cover for Alex Freeman's mistake and block a shot kept Saudi Arabia from a 1-0 lead. Matt Freese got his second consecutive start in goal for the U.S. and third in four matches as he appears to have displaced Matt Turner. The Gold Cup represents the last competitive test for the Americans ahead of the 2026 World Cup. As co-host with Mexico and Canada, the U.S. is an automatic qualifier for the World Cup. The Americans limped into the Gold Cup on a four-match losing streak that included a 4-0 rout by Switzerland in their final tuneup. And with many of the top players either sitting out this tournament for personal reasons, injuries or playing in the Club World Cup, Pochettino selected a roster full of relatively untested and unproven players. Missing the tournament for the U.S. are regulars Christian Pulisic, Yunus Musah, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, Gio Reyna, Antonee Robinson, Folarin Balogun and Sergiño Dest.

Patrick Agyemang of Charlotte FC, Brenden Aaronson of Leeds United and Haji Wright of Coventry City also scored goals for the Americans.

Forgotten Celtic winger Luis Palma suffers Honduras disaster
He made just three league starts for Olympiacos and his nightmare campaign reached a new low on international duty when Honduras crashed to a humiliating 6-0 defeat to Canada in a CONCACAF Gold Cup match at Vancouver and he was subbed off at the interval. And Palma admitted it was a disastrous night for him. He said: "It's very sad. It's one of my lowest moments in my career. Read more: "We have to accept we are going through a very difficult time at the moment. But we all know that was nowhere near acceptable. "Now we have to use this as a learning experience for the rest of the tournament. The whole team is devastated by this setback. "Only hard work will help us. We have to turn over a new page. "We didn't have a clear idea of what we wanted to play, and it showed. This defeat hurts us all a lot."
