US beats Mexico for fourth Gold Cup

CATCHING A BREAK The US got lucky in the 60th when Brian Ching was tripped up in the box by Mexico's Jose Jonny Magallon and Landon Donovan scored the penalty

AP , CHICAGO

Donovan, the US player Mexican fans most love to boo, hit the right corner of the net for his fourth goal of the tournament, all on penalty kicks.

The goal seemed to loosen up all of the US players. Ten minutes later, Donovan's corner kick was flicked clear by a Mexico defender, but the ball went right to Feilhaber, who scored on a perfect right-footed volley.

The US could have scored another goal when Donovan fed DaMarcus Beasley with a perfect cross, but Beasley's shot banged off the crossbar.
