Altidore fires U.S. to 4-0 rout of Trinidad & Tobago (Reuters)

(Reuters) - Jozy Altidore scored a second half brace as the United States routed Trinidad & Tobago 4-0 at home on Tuesday to win Group C in World Cup qualifying. With the Americans nursing a 1-0 lead in an initially tight contest, Altidore put the match away with a flurry, striking home in the 59th minute and adding a second just four minutes later in Jacksonville, Florida. The 26-year-old striker reached 16 career goals in World Cup qualifying, moving two past Clint Dempsey to own the U.S. record.
