T&T, El Salvador face off

Trinidad and Tobago will host El Salvador tonight in a crucial CONCACAF World Cup qualifier at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.



The Trinidadians, who have only two points from five outings, need a victory to renew their dream of reaching their second World Cup finals.



Both teams will be familiar with each other, having met four times in the last two year. T&T won two matches, El Salvador took one while the other finished in a draw.



In another match in the group, the United States will face host Mexico at Estadio Azteca.



The United States will be aiming for revenge after going down 5-0 to Mexico in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final 17 days ago.



Costa Rica lead the CONCACAF qualifying with 12 points, followed by the United States (10), Honduras (7), Mexico (6), El Salvador (5) and Trinidad and Tobago (2).



The top three advance automatically to South Africa, while the fourth placed team faces a play-off with the fifth placed team from South America for another berth.
