International News :: 2009 Confederations Cup - Egypt 0-3 United States - Video of goals

Posted on 2009-06-22 by Gooner

The USA produced a barnstorming display to thump Egypt and surprisingly reach the Confederations Cup semi-finals.

With Brazil 3-0 winners against Italy in the other Group B game, the USA, who had lost their opening two games, went through at Egypt and Italy's expense.

Egypt goalkeeper Essam Al Hadari's spilled Jozy Altidore's cross and Charlie Davies pounced for the opener.

After the break the USA upped the tempo and after Michael Bradley sidefooted in Clint Dempsey headed home the third.

Dempsey's goal ensured the USA qualified under the most unlikely circumstances and will now play European champions Spain in the first semi-final in Bloemfontein on Wednesday with South Africa up against Brazil in Johannesburg on Thursday.
