Steven Gerrard opened the scoring for the three lions in the first three minutes of the kickoff, which was badly needed for England to control the nervous. It was beautifu set up pass by Heskey who laid it off for in coming Gerrard who takes the first touch and slotted past tim Howard with outside of his boot. After going 1-0 up England should have control the game but it was not the case as USA players troubled England dfence more often that Cappelo would have liked.
And thier pressure finaly paid off as Clint Dempsey's left footed shot which was a weak one sneaked past Green who actually made a mess of the shot and could not handle a straight shot as it creeped in. Watch Highlights from the match here.
