U.S. Fights To Draw Against Chile
Sporting Kansas City forward Teal Bunbury buried a penalty kick at the 74th minute to bring the U.S. level with Chile in last night’s friendly at the Home Depot Center.
Bunbury and fellow youngster Juan Agudelo entered the match a mere 15 minutes earlier and had an immediate impact on the match. Together, the two helped energize a U.S. squad that had lost its midfield at around the 30th minute mark.
U.S. Advances After Tough Match
FC Dallas forward Kenny Cooper scored a penalty kick goal at the 105th minute to give the U.S. the advantage over Panama in Gold Cup action last night.
The match itself was less than spectacular for the U.S. side. It was a hard fought midfield battle with a slight advantage to the Panamanian side, but not by much. Both teams struggled to get into their opponents offensive third, but when they did, the Panamanians seemed to be the more dangerous side.
