Altidore At It Again


1-0


Honduras travelled to Utah to play the United States in a World Cup Qualifier.  Team USA were not especially threatening in the first-half and only put one shot on target.  Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley handled the midfield relatively effectively, but it was the striker Jozy Altidore who came through once again for the United States.

Late in the second-half fullback Fabian Johnson was able to make a cutting pass inside the box that Altidore was able to run onto an strike cleanly for the only goal of the match (73').  

The United States remain on top of their group, and look like they will qualify for 2014 World Cup in Brazil.  Up next is a friendly against Guatemala before the next qualifier rematch against Costa Rica.
