Carlos Bocanegra dove low to nod home the winning goal in the 68th minute, giving the United States a 2-1 victory over Honduras in a North American 2010 World Cup qualifying match.
Landon Donovan sent a corner kick from right side of Honduran goalkeeper Noel Valladares to the far post, where Clint Dempsey nudged the ball down to the center of the goal area.
A diving Bocanegra nodded the ball into the back of the net for the decider, although the US captain was removed in the 72nd minute after straining a hamstring.
Honduras opened the scoring in the fifth minute after a turnover at midfield by Dempsey led to Carlos Costly s left-footed blast past diving US goalkeeper Tim Howard.

Roberto Martinez has confirmed he will continue as Belgium boss despite overseeing the disappointment of a quarter-final exit at Euro 2020.
The world s number one ranked side breezed through the group stages and defeated Portugal in the round of 16 before seeing their progress halted by Italy.
It had been suggested Martinez could step down after overseeing another major tournament failure for what has often been described as a golden generation of players.
However, the Spaniard has reaffirmed his commitment to the jobs of head coach and technical director for the Royal Belgian Football Association.
The disappointment after the lost game against Italy was great, but the focus is already on the World Cup qualifiers in September and the final four of the Na…
Manchester City and Liverpool arguably both deserve to be Premier League champions, but only one team can claim the title.
City are strong favourites to defend their crown, needing a win at Brighton and Hove Albion to guarantee top spot, while anything less will open the door for the Reds to clinch glory with victory at home to Wolves.
The Seagulls will not be a walkover, but with City having won 13 Premier League games in a row they will surely not stumble at the final hurdle.
So how have Liverpool and City been so far clear of the competition this season? Omnisport takes a look.

Reigning WPS champion FC Gold Pride, based in northern California, will not return while the Chicago Red Stars were given until December 15 to secure funding for possible inclusion as a seventh team for next season.
The league began last year with eight teams but lost St. Louis in mid-season.

France coach Didier Deschamps claimed it s not as bad as 2021 after Les Bleus discovered their Euro 2024 group-stage opponents.
Deschamps team were drawn into Group D during Saturday s draw in Hamburg.
France will face Austria, the Netherlands – who they beat twice in qualifying – and one of Poland, Wales, Finland or Estonia.
Les Bleus disappointed at the delayed Euro 2020 in 2021, going out to Switzerland on penalties in the last 16.
That was after they edged through a challenging group which included Hungary, Germany and Portugal.
It s going to be difficult, Deschamps told TMC.
The pot three team we ll be facing is the Netherlands. We won both our games against them [in qualifying] but it makes our group harder.

Baby we can talk all night, but that ain’t getting us nowhere. I told you everything I possibly can. There’s nothing left inside of here.

That was the tune for my NFL survivor pick strategy last week, which was spot on with Tampa Bay as my safe survivor pick and New Orleans as my team to avoid. But my featured pick on Pittsburgh came out looking like two-day-old meatloaf and not the improbable rock god who gave us the above poetry.
Here are my Week 3 survivor pool picks – take ’em or leave ’em.

The Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers rekindle their NFC rivalry in the Wild Card Round in Arlington, Texas on Sunday afternoon.
The Niners snuck into the postseason with a thrilling come-from-behind win over the L.A. Rams in Week 18 and enter the NFL Playoffs as one of the hottest teams in the NFL, having won seven of their last nine contests. Despite that momentum, San Francisco is a field goal underdog to Dallas, which earned the No. 4 seed in the conference thanks to a soft home stretch.
Here are our free NFL picks and predictions for 49ers at Cowboys on January 16.

Coming out of the bye and getting some key players healthy, the Seattle Seahawks head to Cincinnati this Sunday to prove that the Bengals are past their early-season struggles. The NFL odds favor the Bengals at -3 with the total in the potential windy and wet meeting sitting at 45.
With Geno Smith looking better than the last time he played and Joe Burrow creating some recency bias vs. one of the worst defenses in football last week, should bettors be taking the points this Sunday, especially with the move from 2.5 to 3 in the Week 6 NFL odds?

The final game of the 2023-24 NFL regular season could also be the best as the 10-6 Buffalo Bills face off against the 11-5 Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium. Miami has already clinched a playoff berth – its second in two seasons – but Buffalo’s postseason hopes are still hanging by a thread. A Bills loss on Sunday combined with wins by the Pittsburgh Steelers and Jacksonville Jaguars and any result other than a tie between the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts would bring a swift end to Buffalo’s season.
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game, you can also live stream Bills vs. Dolphins directly from legal sports betting sites.
