10-Minute Match_ Clint Dempsey s USA vs Cristiano Ronaldo s Portugal _ 2014 World Cup

This is Almeida, fed in by Veloso, it's a mistake, chance for Nani! Horrible mistake in the USA defence, and the Manchester United man Nani gets his 15th international goal and gives Portugal what they'd have dreamt of last night, an early lead in Manaus. Veloso fed it in, but big question marks over the defending there. Jeff Cameron, the defender who made the mistake, and Nani made him pay, not how he envisaged it. Quite a run forward here, the United States, it's Fabian Johnson, it's the first time that the US have put together any manner of constructive football, good work here from Fabian Johnson. Lifted towards Dempsey, it's well policed by Costa, nice touch from Jones, taken on by Johnson, free kick against Bruno Alves. Now then, looks like it's going to be Clint Dempsey, and he certainly had Beto interested. Goalkeeper wasn't sure it was flying just over the top, was he? Bradley, lovely ball into the channel here for Dempsey! Beto to deny, Clint Dempsey, Jermaine Jones, Fabian Johnson make a run to his right, Jones ignores him, and finds Bradley, struck it well! Well the USA's hopes of a positive result tonight rest a lot on this man, Michael Bradley, didn't have the best of games in the victory over Ghana, Susi, Bradley, side of goal again for Michael Bradley, and he had Beto at stretch, he didn't catch it as cleanly as he'd wished, the goalkeeper still had to react, clearly pulls his hands away, at the last moment here Beto, now Dempsey, promising approach play here from the United States, Fabian Johnson, well I have to believe by his body language that Beto had all his angles covered, because just from my initial view, and his, it looked like it might be nestling in the back of the net. Jones with the cross, Beto's got work to do here, break on now for Portugal, Ronaldo no finer side in world football when he's in full flight, picks out a great pass here for Nani! Howard with a save, and a free kick for Portugal, and Ronaldo will be licking his lips already, but they're devastating, once they find the spaces in the last third, Nani, oh and Howard posts and what a save! Magnificent reaction, well he's disappointed with the first touch onto the post here from Nani, but look at this for a reaction, 35 year old saves the US there, but Tim Howard has kept the scoreline at only one nil, with that brilliant reaction save to Nani Eder, one nil at the break, just to name those two strikers that Klinsman has in reserves, Wondolowski and Johansson, at the moment the 11 out there are still a threat to that Portugal goal, Beto forced him to concede in the corner, another good run from Johansson, excellent run here by Fabian Johansson, Bradley, oh magnificent clearance, what a saving challenge that was from Ricardo Costa, Fabian Johansson with a cross, and look at Costa's work on the line, brilliant, five white shirts in that penalty area at the moment for the USA, Jones hovering just outside, so too Beckerman, here is Jermaine Jones, struck it well, oh a magnificent goal, just open up that top draw and file that one right in, and who can say that the USA do not deserve to be on level terms, Jermaine Jones with a beauty, and Beto in the Portugal goal is waving it goodbye, what a wonderful goal, Nani, good run there from Nani, Howard can't get it away, it's Moreles, Howard once again quick to react, didn't look totally at ease there at all, the US goalkeeper and coming for the Nani cross, but enough to deny Moreles in the end, Beckerman for Jones, Yedlin with the ball in, Bradley, chance for him, USA, and it's a, it stands, and it's the captain Clint Dempsey, look at these scenes amongst the USA squad on their way to the last 16 at this moment, Yedlin a judge who had been onside there, Bradley with the attempted shot, and is Dempsey onside, yes the assistant says as he leaves his flag down on that far side, Portugal in a desperate position now, Bradley this would be a third successive USA win over Portugal, unless we have a most dramatic twist in the final seconds now, into the last 30, oh and redemption for Paulo Bento the coach in Portugal, there was 30 seconds left and it's a dream of a cross from Ronaldo, Varela buries it, the most dramatic of finales, Varela keeps Portugal in it after Dempsey looked like he was going to be the match winner, but the final score in Group G, it's finished, USA 2, Portugal 2, all four teams in the group still alive.
