With the U.S. holding a commanding lead, that return fixture is shaping up as a going-away party rather than a nervy decider.\n\nIndividually, goalkeeper Diego Kochen made a good first-half save but was also at fault for a second-half lapse that could have let Haiti back in, had the resulting effort not been ruled offside. The 20-year-old remains in contention for the starting job going forward. Fullback Antonee Robinson had a strong night too, picking up an assist and setting up two further chances for teammates.\n\nWith a six-goal cushion heading into the second leg, the Americans look set to advance to the semifinals as Pochettino's tenure winds down.","published_at":"2026-11-15T00:50:21.748514+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"In one of Mauricio Pochettino's final acts, USMNT showed why this coaching job is attractive","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/in-one-of-mauricio-pochettinos-final-acts-the-usmnt-showed-why-this-coachng-job-is-attractive/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"USMNT player ratings from CONCACAF Nations League first leg win over Haiti","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/usmnt-player-ratings-concacaf-nations-233204620.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Haiti vs. USMNT live updates: Mauricio Pochettino leads USA in Concacaf Nations League ahead of Manchester United move","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/live-blogs/haiti-vs-usmnt-live-updates-pochettino-concacaf-nations-league-score-result/pAqhUtbWUhq0/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Concacaf Nations League USMNT vs. Haiti – first leg preview","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/concacaf-nations-league-usmnt-vs-174130949.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Mauricio Pochettino leads USMNT in two-game farewell against Haiti after taking Manchester United job","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/mauricio-pochettino-usmnt-in-two-game-farewell-haiti-manchester-united/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"How to watch Haiti vs USMNT live: CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal 1st leg stream, team news, start time","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/haiti-vs-usmnt-preview-watch-172021206.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"USA vs. Haiti, 2026 Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinals: Time, TV schedule, streaming and match thread","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/usa-vs-haiti-2026-concacaf-150000999.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://theathletic-media-production.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/pAqhUtbWUhq0_sRQNBWZYOcFM_1440x960.jpg","credit":"The Athletic","width":1440},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
