The 2-0 win over Austria has boosted the chances of their relegation protection. Chiote, who scored 1 goal and 1 assist in the match, was highly praised, but team leader Dee Gans poured cold water on the 36-year-old striker, saying that he might not be able to be selected as one of the squad to participate in this year's World Cup.
