With a 2-0 U.S. lead, the second half was much quieter than the first. However, Tonny Temple found the back of the net in the 90th minute, just three minutes after he came on as a substitute for Sargent. Christopher Durkin claimed the assist for Temple’s goal, which secured the 3-0 victory for the U.S.
