Summary: | Unable to dent overmatched Grenada for an early goal in their earlier meeting, the Americans got a quick goal from Landon Donovan, then a tiebreaker from Josh Wolff in a 3-2 victory Sunday. The win, on a soggy converted cricket field, lifted the United States into the CONCACAF regional semifinals for the 2006 World Cup. Grenada, ranked 138th, tied it on a penalty kick just six minutes after Donovan scored. Jason Roberts beat Kasey Keller for the goal. Already trailing 2-1, Grenada's chances virtually ended when defender Brian Benjamin received a second yellow card in the 55th minute for a lunging tackle on Donovan. Grenada played a man down for the rest of the match. |
