Game on Teusday night (USA vs Czech Republic) at Reliant Stadium was started in favor of the USA as they had an early lead by a nice set play by Stuart Holden that Maurice Edu had able to poke into the net.
Coach Bob Bradley elected his key players on this match. These players include Tim Howard, Carlos Bocanegra, Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Jay Demerit, Michael Bradley, Ricardo Clark, Benny Feilhaber, and Jozy Altidore.
But with the experimental lineup taking the game, the game started to pressure the Czech on the start of the game, but not well until the end.
The Czechs scored two goals just before the half.
Later on the game another set play made a point on USA made by Herculez Gomez as the finishing header which brought the game into a tie of 2-2.
However, though the deadlock lasted for quite some time, the USA still fell short of a win against the Czech Republic in the two late goals.
Most of the concerns was that the US was playing with a very inexperienced lineup in the match. And the US was described as to be looking very susceptible to the counter attack after their own pieces.
The Czech Republic took advantage of the poor defending of the USA to grab the winner.
