The Yanks open Group G action with a late winner after leading for most of the match.

1'
And by most of the match, that means the opening minute through Clint Dempsey.

82'
Andre Ayew takes the backheel from Asamoah Gyan and beats Tim Howard.

86'
John Brooks is in disbelief he found that much space to head home this Graham Zusi corner. A bright start for the Americans.
