Three set-piece goals lead the Yanks to a win on the road.

12’
Landon Donovan’s free-kick is nodded home by captain Carlos Bocanegra.

35’
Another set-piece, this time from a corner.

Donovan curls it in and Oguchi Onyewu is the first to meet the ball in the box.

Can’t let him get to that!

73’
Eddie Lewis sealed the win with one last dead ball.

His left-footed strike was curled past Artur Boruc.
