Brian McBride scored his 14th international goal to give the United States a 1-0 lead over China in Oakland. McBride’s goal, his 14th international goal, came after Landon Donovan took a pass from Jeff Agoos and flicked it on to McBride, who came down the left side and scored with his left foot from a shap angle. The goal marked the fourth straight game in which McBride has scored, tying a U.S record. The goal followed intense U.S. pressure on the fragile Chinese backline. Teenagers Donovan and DaMarcus Beasley, both making their first starts, missed chances with only the goalie to beat.
