Regional Upset

CARSON, Calif. – Portland Timbers defender Rodney Wallace scored the lone goal of the match for Costa Rica in the 65th minute, shortly after entering the game for his debut, and it would be all the visitors would need to leave the U.S. with a 1-0 win.

The U.S. Men's National Team started strong on Friday night, but failed to find the back of the net, and Costa Rica made them pay with an improved second half effort and the eventual goal from Wallace.
