In one of the most heartbreaking matches for the US, a first-half goal proved to be the difference in this quarterfinal.

39'
Michael Ballack nods in Christian Ziege's free-kick for the lone goal.

49'
Claudio Reyna's corner was helped on by Tony Sanneh and Gregg Berhalter turned it toward the goal. The shot was blocked on the line by Torsten Frings' arm, but no VAR, so no goal.
