The match throughout was end to end with the American strikers Clinton Dempsey and Altidore , both of Fulham, combining well Most of the American attacks were coming down the left flank with the full back Bornstein being particularly effective.

Defensively the trio of Demerit, Captain Bocanegra and keeper Tim Howard did wondrously, particularly in the final stages when America made attacking substitutions that meant there were only three at the back. This opened the opportunity for Algeria to counter attack and only last ditch defending kept them out on a number of occasions.

Both teams knew that a win was what was needed but the USA were far more energetic and positive in their play.

In the final minutes USA were throwing caution to the winds with Dempsey, Altidore, Buddle and Bradley all going close.

As the final seconds ticked by with only minutes of injury time remaining Landon Donovan picked up a rebound from the Algerians keeper’s save to slot home.

The States are through as Group winners with England for the knock-out stages of the competition.
