It was deja vu all over again for a United States, as it authorised another early idea when Ricardo Clark was dispossessed near midfield prior to Kevin-Prince Boateng set upon a shot to a front post just five minutes in to a game.

Landon Donovan would pull a Americans level, converting a penalty flog drawn by Clint Dempsey in a 62nd minute. The equalizing goal, which was a perfect set upon which stung off a right post as good as went in, was Donovan's third of a tournament, tying him with five alternative players for a tournament's best.

The diversion entered extra time, as good as a American defense again unraveled early as Asamoah Gyan would measure 3 minutes in. A gassed U.S. group pushed for an equalizer, but never found it.
