  Tim Howard

  Not his finest night. Slow off his line on Guatemala's goal, then nearly gave up a second after spilling an easy rebound.

  Carlos Bocanegra

  Slow start as he got caught upfield on Ruiz's goal, but recovered well enough to defend solidly through the rest of the match, and scored the vital equalizer.

  Geoff Cameron

  Dire miscommunication with Bocanegra to let Ruiz in for Guatemala's opener but like his center back partner, recovered to turn in a decent showing. Distributed well as usual.

  Michael Parkhurst

  Defended well enough, but his distribution was lacking, and he was caught in possession a few times.

  Steven Cherundolo

  His ball to spring Johnson on the USA's second goal was sublime. The Hannover man defended well and overlapped when he needed to. Strong performance.

  Clint Dempsey Top of the Match

  Won crucial header to assist first goal off corner kick, then made sure he was in the right place at the right time to finish goals number two and three.

  Daniel Williams

  Was composed with the ball, distributing from side to side, and covered a lot of ground, allowing Bradley to roam back and forth. A bounce-back performance after Antigua & Barbuda

  Graham Zusi

  Very tidy on the the ball in front of his home fans, keeping the ball moving to great effect. Had the corner that led to the USA's first goal. Could've been more dangerous attacking.

  Michael Bradley

  Wasn't completely on his game, but hit several good long balls, and combined expertly with Gomez on the USA's third goal. His cheeky chip over the goalkeeper allowed Dempsey to tap home.

  Eddie Johnson

  Brimming with confidence and it shows. Started on the wing, but cut in to dangerous effect numerous times. Had the telling cross to assist Dempsey's first goal and his team's second.

  Hérculez Gómez

  Worked extremely hard for 65 minutes, and his tracking led to the USA's corner that produced the first goal. Combined well with Bradley for his team's third and had two crosses in the second half that would've resulted in goals with better finishing.

  J. Contreras

  Guatemala's best player in the midfield, his precise long ball sprung Ruiz for the game's opening goal. Moved the ball well otherwise.

  C. Ruíz

  El Pescadito confounded the USA's defense to spring free for the game's first goal. His movement troubled the backline, but his influence waned as the game went on.

  M. Pappa

  Came on at halftime, but did not get into the attack as much as he would've liked. Looks rusty from lack of playing time in Holland.
