The U.S. opened the scoring in the fourth minute when Houston Dynamo's Brad Davis' shot was parried away by goalkeeper Jung Sung-Ryong only for Wondolowski to head the ball into the net. The San Jose Earthquake's striker doubled his tally in the 60th minute when he buried the ball in the back of the goal after he was set up by a clever Landon Donovan back heel. Full Story | Top |
