For long stretches of the match the US, with the exception of a truly outstanding Tim Howard, looked completely over matched. But somehow, in the final 15 minutes, they managed to make a game of it.

The US may still be a goal down but it looks like they've saved their best for last. The last few minutes have been thrilling.

Here's that US goal:
( function() { var func = function() { var iframe = document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-260a181776e785dea05a5ef27b3ce554-56757169-55448859') if ( iframe ) { iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { 'msg_type': 'poll_size', 'frame_id': 'wpcom-iframe-260a181776e785dea05a5ef27b3ce554-56757169-55448859' }, "https:\/\/embeds.nypost.com" ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( 'a' ); origin.href = e.origin; // Verify message origin if ( 'embeds.nypost.com' !== origin.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we expect if ( 'object' !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case 'poll_size:response': var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && '' === iframe.width ) iframe.width = '100%'; if ( iframe && '' === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( 'function' === typeof window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener( 'message', funcSizeResponse, false ); } else if ( 'function' === typeof window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent( 'onmessage', funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === 'complete') { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); } } )();

Lukaku almost single-handedly puts the game back out of reach, but Howard is able to stop the ball from going in.
