The Americans seemed destined for victory after Clint Dempsey scored a go-ahead goal off his stomach in the 81st minute, but Cristiano Ronaldo set up the game-tying tally in the fifth minute of stoppage time to even the score.

Portugal took an early 1-0 lead on a goal by Nani in the fifth minute, but Jermaine Jones incredible kick in the 64th minute tied the match and set up the dramatic finish.
