— Tonight’s Starting XI has an average age of 24 years, 156 days. The lineup also
averages 29 caps and 17 in official competition.

— Gregg Berhalter makes three changes to the lineup from Thursday’s first leg against
the Soca Warriors, inserting midfielder Luca de la Torre and forwards Brenden
Aaronson and Ricardo Pepi.

— Twenty-year-old midfielder Yunus Musah earns his 33rd cap, surpassing Jozy
Altidore, Landon Donovan and Christian Pulisic for the most appearances by a
USMNT player before their 21st birthday. Musah (2,445 minutes) would also surpass
Donovan (2,507 minutes) for most minutes played before a 21st birthday if he
features for 63 minutes tonight. Musah turns 21 on Nov. 29.

— After scoring the game-winner on Thursday, striker Ricardo Pepi makes his second
start of the year and first since recording a brace in the 7-1 win at Grenada on March
27 in the 2022-23 CNL Group Stage. Despite mainly coming off the bench in 2023, Pepi
ranks second on the team in goals with seven in just 299 minutes of play, good
enough for a 2.11 Goals / 90 minute rate this year.

— Left back Antonee Robinson earned Bud Light Man of the Match honors in Thursday’s
game, assisting on Pepi’s goal in the 82nd minute before smashing home one of his
own in the 86th. It was the first time Robinson recorded two goal contributions in an
international match.

— Pepi, Musah and forward Brenden Aaronson each earn their 10th appearances of 2023
tonight. The trio joins Matt Turner as the only four players to reach double-digit
appearances this year. Aaronson hits double digits for the third-straight year, Musah
does it for the second consecutive year, while Pepi hits the mark for the first time.

— Aaronson is the 27th player to record double-digit appearances in three consecutive


years, and the eighth to do it while playing for clubs in Europe the entire time. The
others: Michael Bradley (2007-2011; Heerenveen, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Aston
Villa, Chievo Verona), Jermaine Jones (2011-2014; Schalke, Blackburn Rovers,
Besiktas),Clint Dempsey (2007-2009; Fulham), Fabian Johnson (2014-2016;
Hoffenheim, Borussia Mönchengladbach), Oguchi Onyewu (2007-2009; Standard
Liege, Newcastle United, AC Milan), Tim Howard (2011-2013; Everton), Tony Sanneh
(2000-2002; Hertha Berlin, Nürnberg).

— Matt Turner earns his team-leading 13th cap of 2023, equaling his career high for
appearances in a calendar year originally set in 2021. With an 8-1-3 record this year,
should Turner help the team win tonight’s match he would become the first USMNT
goalkeeper to record nine or more wins in more than one calendar year. The
goalkeeper went 10-1-2 in 2021.

— With his next shutout, Turner (23 shutouts in 36 caps) will tie Brad Friedel (24
shutouts in 82 caps) for fourth all-time among USMNT goalkeepers.

— Making his first international appearance away from the USA, Folarin Balogun starts
his eighth consecutive match. The striker has three goals and two assist in his seven
previous appearances.

— Gio Reyna has scored in back-to-back matches. The 21-year-old tallied a brace in the
4-0 win against Ghana on Oct. 17 and scored the third goal in Thursday’s 3-0 win
against Trinidad and Tobago.

— Veteran Tim Ream becomes the 20th player in team history to captain the USMNT in
10 matches. The team is 7-1-1 when Ream wears the captain’s armband.

— The backline of Ream, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Sergiño Dest and Antonee Robinson
starts together for the third time, and second consecutive match.

— Luca de la Torre earns his 20th cap, fulfilling the eligibility criteria for the National
Soccer Hall of Fame after he retires from professional soccer.

— Should substitute Paxten Aaronson get on the field at the same time as his brother
Brenden, the Aaronsons would become the eighth set of brothers to play together
for the U.S. Men’s National Team. The Aaronsons became the ninth pair of brothers
to earn a USMNT cap upon Paxten’s debut on Jan. 28 against Colombia.

— The USMNT is 22-3-4 in 29 previous matches against Trinidad and Tobago. The team
has won the last four meetings, outscoring the Soca Warriors 22-0.

— Five substitutions are allowed in three different moments. Halftime does not count
as a substitution moment.

— Walter López of Guatemala is the referee for tonight’s match. The USMNT is 4-2-1 in
seven matches previously officiated by López:
— 4-0 win vs. Grenada (Gold Cup) – July 4, 2009
— 2-0 win vs. Canada (Gold Cup) – June 7, 2011
— 0-1 loss vs. Costa Rica (Friendly) – Oct. 13, 2015
— 1-2 loss vs. Mexico (WCQ) – Nov. 11, 2016
— 6-0 win vs. Honduras (WCQ) – March 24, 2017
— 2-1 win vs. Jamaica (Gold Cup) – July 26, 2017
— 0-0 draw vs. Panama (Gold Cup) – July 12, 2023
