00:00Independence week in the United States of America and St. Louis are making their

00:05voices heard tonight. The semi-final for the CONCACAF 2020 Gold Cup with the very

00:11first. The second match tonight of course Mexico to the United States. Diego Luna

00:16and United States kick us off. Santis his first touch pops out. Little one two on

00:22top of the box. Luna, half-stun. Calm, experienced Reem giving it away. Rosales'

00:27shot. And his shot on goal. Saved by Navarro. Luna follows up. 1-0 USA.

00:40Diego Luna, the man who opened the scoring against Costa Rica for his very first

00:45international goal, gets number two tonight and opens his scoring and it's the

00:51last thing Guatemala needed and the best thing the USA could have ordered.

00:57USA won. Guatemala then. Diego Luna.

01:01What a spectacular start for the United States. The ability to get this ball wide and on the

01:10foot of that man Freeman. Plays it into Tillman. Finds that central ball. But it's the USL but

01:17here comes Guatemala. Morales' cross. Overhit.

01:19Alton shots and splice final. Santis. Blue cross. Green gets her and they made up for an assist as

01:28well in the second half. Luna, of course, looking for the shot. There's Rosales. Tillman again. He's

01:34second attempt. Not too far off. Malik Tillman, who is rumored to get to buy a Luba-Kusan this week.

01:39Obviously, they dealt with the Schaffelberg red card. It's the ball in the middle.

01:43Pass it back. Santis. Morales. And Richards. In the attacking third. Santis.

01:51There's Luna now. In coaching. Diego Luna!

01:54USA 2. Guatemala 0. And they have one foot in the final. The fans can't believe it. Diego Luna has

02:12now scored three in the trot. The first against Costa Rica. Two tonight. And at this point, he's unstoppable.

02:21And what's on full display right now is the interchangeability

02:28of the United States. Morales. Top of the box, Rosales.

02:34Spliced it wide. And the tough man from Antigua, half-stun. Sipping it through, Ajeman.

02:44Well, it will be offside. And it's gone wide nonetheless. And here comes the flag.

02:51And with the new FIFA rules, the linesmen are begged to keep...

02:56Ruben Rubio's volley. And there's Richard to the rescue. Santis following up.

03:02But the press paid off again for Guatemala. They didn't find the final product, but I tell you...

03:05The most touches on the team. And you can see the purpose stretching.

03:09And the Crystal Palace man is in the vicinity. And Navarro. Good. 1v1. Early cross. And the header by Santis.

03:17Not too far off. Encouraging signs for Guatemala. Yeah, Guatemala is knocking.

03:22Early ball in. And it gets through two pairs. And it's shot. And it's in!

03:26The flag has gone up on the far side. Ruben Rubio Mendez. He played in a dangerous area.

03:35Santis corner on the penalty spot. Pinto is there. Early ball over the top. Ruben Rubio is onside.

03:40And Matt Freeze had to use all of his positioning to deny Rubio getting his third goal for the tournament.

03:49And the first for Guatemala tonight. And big save, but you have to wonder what kept Matt...

03:54There's Tenya. And the Guatemala take by Robles. Over the top. And there's Matt Freeze.

04:02So too Robles. Herrera's delivery. Early cross. It's a good delivery.

04:10Too much physicality. And it looks like Santis or Rubio Mendez may have been called for a push.

04:18Free cells play on. Early cross.

04:19It's really just the story of this team. Here's Ruben Rubio.

04:28In-swinger by Santis. Here's Afston. He goes down. Free kick for the U.S.

04:35With all the momentum that Guatemala is clinging on to. Why?

04:40The out-swinger to the penalty spot. Headed by Morales. And the follow-up.

04:45It's still pinging around. And it's out by Ajimang.

04:49And Latley flat.

04:52Berhalter. Goes for goal! Saved by Navarro.

04:58And the free kick goes Guatemala's way.

05:01But Berhalter took a good long look, Eric. And he went for it.

05:05And Ruben Rubio goes down. Refinition says play on. And a curling effort.

05:09Here's Morales. That was Munoz's efforts. Santis.

05:14Continue to grow into as a back four.

05:19Santis Azash.

05:20Gonzalez again. Early ball to the last post.

05:23Matt Freeze. Who would dare to say stays as is just because.

05:27The ball by Herrera. Ajimang and Richard's in there.

05:30To the last post. And now.

05:33De La Torre to the byline. And look at this.

05:35In attendance in St. Louis tonight. Independence week.

05:38Luna goes down.

05:41And the Jamaican referee shrugs him off.

05:43Herrera.

05:43Two-footed offset. Cross.

05:48Back into Tillman. That combination looking well. Diego Luna.

05:53Top of the box. The volley by Herrera.

05:55Dispossessed. Guatemala. Santis.

05:58Reflection. And Freeze can't get to it.

06:00There's another corner kick for Guatemala.

06:04They haven't made them pay the descent.

06:06In that electric play. Santis cross.

06:10Mishit. Clipped into the box.

06:12At the last post. And the header.

06:14By Ajimang.

06:16For a second. We thought it would end up at Tillman's feet.

06:18But the six-foot-four.

06:19Center-forward Rose.

06:22Was definitive.

06:24Mishit back. Beholt again.

06:26Crossing.

06:28And stubbornness by Guatemala.

06:29Yeah. I think so many just jump to the assumption.

06:32Beholt up. Near post.

06:35Aronson.

06:36Side. Ajimang.

06:40Navarro again.

06:41And the follow-up by Ajimang.

06:43Is wide.

06:47Clever ball through.

06:48Luna in the thick of things.

06:49Into Aronson.

06:51Ajimang was on-site.

06:52This man, Diego Luna.

06:55Early ball lofted.

06:58Still Ajimang.

06:59Gets past one.

07:00Ajimang.

07:00What a tackle.

07:02What a tackle.

07:04From the substitutes.

07:06Jump.

07:06Beholt up.

07:08Another driven in ball.

07:09And Navarro.

07:10Dalet.

07:10Altando the thick.

07:13Mendez goes down.

07:14A lot of those opportunities that we saw in the first half dissipate.

07:23Personality.

07:24And it's Franco cutting inside.

07:25He shoots.

07:27It was a sort of a half shot, half pass.

07:29And it's actually the new man, Ordonez.

07:36It's done.

07:37Escobar back to Lom.

07:40Top of the box.

07:42Daylight.

07:42Escobar!

07:43Guatemala are back in it.

07:56The teenage phenom has answered the bell.

08:00And Mauricio Pochettino looks to his coaching staff.

08:05Link a play.

08:06Greg, take it away.

08:08And this is that dangerous game that you play when you're trying to nuttle.

08:14To the last four.

08:15As we go.

08:18A beauty of a delivery.
