An absolute stunner from the German-born midfielder.

What a game.

The USA and Portugal proved to be yet another classic and Jermaine Jones lit up proceedings with a quite stunning effort from outside the box.

The former Blackburn man arrowed the ball past Beto to equalise Nani’s opener and make for a nailbiting final 20 minutes.

Brilliant.

Things got a whole lot better for the United States with ten minutes remaining, as Clint Dempsey beat the off-side trap to do this.

With Portugal heading out, it was left up to Him to provide a glorious cross for Varela to head home. Stunning. It goes to the final round of matches.
