Ghana 1          USA 2

A. Ayew 82     Dempsey 1, Brooks 86

If ever there was a snatched result, this was it. Ghana was all over the USA, but what matters is the result. The USA took their chances, Ghana arrived at the area, but the USA had already parked the bus in front of goal,so was reduced to long shots.
