The United States has now gone 14 games unbeaten in the Gold Cup, and if they win tomorrow's match, their unbeaten streak will extend to 15 consecutive matches.

Despite their best efforts, Martinique have failed to win in their last six matches, drawing three of them, a situation that has made it more difficult for them and places them at the bottom of the table thanks to their lack of goals. On the other hand, the United States has only lost one of its last 10 matches.

Martinique and the United States have met twice in official matches, both occasions were victories for the Stars and Stripes, the first in 2003 with a brace by Mcbride, while on the second occasion the score was 3-2, with a brace by Jordan Morris and a goal by Omar Gonzalez.

After beating Haiti and prior to this game, Gregg Berhalter said, "We still have to get better. We didn't create enough chances and we didn't finish enough plays.

He also spoke about the departure of Paul Arriola, after the hamstring injury he suffered, arguing that it was a very sensitive loss, the intensity to look for more goals was lost and it became a slow game.

For Berhalter, the start of the game was very intense, "I liked the start of the game, it was good and intense. Then it became unpredictable with some good things and ended up not being good enough".

He also talked about the good level that Moore has shown, arguing that he was the one who had the best reading of the game: "He is not even in preseason, he has been training by himself".

It is important to remember that Martinique is not registered with FIFA, so although it may be active in the Gold Cup, it cannot qualify for the World Cups.

Despite not being able to score more goals thanks to the great performance of Haiti's goalkeeper, the Americans came out victorious in this match and for the next game they will be looking to get back to 3-3 to top Group B and qualify for the quarterfinals of this edition.

Martinique started the Gold Cup with a painful loss, despite starting the game winning with a goal by Riviere; Canada did not hesitate to turn the game around after 6 minutes with the lead and beat the French island, a situation that they could not reverse and ended up dropping their first three points.

Martinique will host the United States in the second round of the Gold Cup. This match will be played at Children's Mercy Park Stadium, located in Kansas City, Missouri. The stadium has a capacity for 18,467 fans and is expected to be 100% occupied.
