El Salvador confirmed lineup
El Salvador proved to have an imposing defense during the first round of the 2022 Concacaf World Cup Qualifiers. A single goal allowed speaks very well of the defensive work that “El Profesor” Hugo Perez, El Salvador's head coach, is doing to win a spot in Qatar 2022.
The only controversy of the week was the return of Darwin Ceren to “La Selecta” (El Salvador’s national soccer team nickname). Some fans on social media directly criticized the head coach for including Ceren on the 26-player roster due to his poor performance in previous games.
This is the El Salvador's lineup for this game: Mario Gonzalez (GK), Alexander Larin (DF), Ronald Rodriguez (DF), Eriq Zavaleta (DF), Bryan Tamacas (DF); Narciso Orellana (MF), Marvin Monterroza (MF), Darwin Ceren (MF), Alex Roldan (MF); Jairo Henriquez (FW), Joaquin Rivas (FW).
USA confirmed lineup
Gregg Berhalter, USA head coach, has already made the official announcement of the list of 26 players to play in the 2022 Concacaf World Cup Qualifiers.

Sadly, one of the big names expected to play this game against El Salvador will not be available. Christian Pulisic did not travel with the USMNT to San Salvador for the qualifiers game. We had previously reported that he had recovered from Covid-19 and was ready to play.
