Things
looking bright though for Paulo Bento's men early in that game where
they opened the scoring through Nani after just five minutes of play.
However,
Portugal's second half turned gloomy when United States manage to get back on
level terms with an effort from Jermaine Jones on 64 minutes.
The European Selecao were heading into an exit door on 81 minutes when Clint Dempsey scored USA's second goal in that match.
Fortunately
for Portugal, Silvestre Varela come to their rescue as his late strike
still keep a slight hope for Cristiano Ronaldo and co to advance in the
next stage.
