A tale of two halves with the Yanks needing two goals in the second half for the points — should have scored a third.

48'
Just after halftime, Landon Donovan took down a long ball from Steve Cherundolo and found the roof of the net.

82'
This one starts with Donovan playing the long ball. Jozy Altidore helps it on and Michael Bradley gets there first to beat Samir Handanovic.

85'
Maurice Edu was denied the winner for some reason.
