FT: USA 1, ITA 0 [View all]

First time the USA has ever defeated Italy. First loss ever by the Italian National Team in Genoa.

The goal was scored in the 55th minute when Jozy Altidore received a cross just below the penalty spot, held the ball against two Italian defenders and dropped a pass to Clint Dempsey who shot the ball back across his body and beat the Keeper clean. Incredible defense by the US squad, including an early save by American Keeper Tim Howard to prevent a 1-0 Italian lead.

This is an historic result.
