U.S. men's national team full back Sergino Dest drew praise after his massive goal on Wednesday against Costa Rica, with USMNT boss Gregg Berhalter claiming that the Barcelona defender can "be as good as he wants to be".
With the U.S. down 1-0 after conceding within one minute, Dest fired an equalizing goal into the top left corner in the 25th minute, giving Keylor Navas no chance to make a save.
Tim Weah then created the USMNT's second goal, leading the way in the 2-1 win that now has the U.S. back on track in its World Cup qualifying campaign.
"It's an amazing feeling because it's a really important goal and it was a really nice goal so it's an amazing feeling," Dest said. "At that moment, I was just happy, I was so happy , because we were 1-0 down so it was really important.
"I was just running to my teammates, because we all do this together so I think we needed that moment."
