The USA’s late show continued in this final group game. They came from behind to draw with England and Slovenia and left it until the 91st minute to secure this victory. The vital win means they top the group and play the runners-up of Group D. A draw here would have put the USA out. In a match full of drama, the biggest moment came when inspirational Landon Donovan burst into the box to power a loose ball into the back of the net. Both sides had chances to win this game. Algeria’s Rafik Djebbour hit the crossbar after five minutes and moments later, the USA’s Hercules Gomez had a long-range effort saved. In the dying minutes it looked like a World Cup exit for both teams. Donavan left it late. His goal sent the American team into seventh heaven.
