Going back to the recap of the match itself, it was a strike of luck for USA to win this match because they were able to score a goal in the 91st minute just minutes before the end of the match through Landon Donovan. Jozy Altidore squared the ball into the danger zone, where M’Bolhi beat it away, but Donovan was able to latch onto the loose ball and passed it into an empty net, before being submerged among a sea of white shirts. It was the least Bob Bradley’s team deserved, having also had a Clint Dempsey effort disallowed for offside, struck a post and seen Jozy Altidore pass up a glorious opening. That was an amazing move by Donovan! Congratulations to USA for winning this football match against Algeria. I am very sure a lot of football fans in the US are now celebrating their victory.
