The Americans started Saturday afternoon’s first Last 16 knockout game really well but after Memphis Depay finished off a superb Dutch move, the Oranje began exerting their dominance.

Full-back Daley Blind then doubled his country’s advantage on the stroke of halftime. Although fans of the USMNT would have been forgiven for expecting their team to crash out of this year’s World Cup, Haji Wright has given his country a glimpse of hope.
The American managed to flick home an audacious effort that commentator Martin Keown described as a “miracle” goal (said live on BBC One at approx 4:33 p.m).
