If the game ended in a draw the United States would advance and Portugal could end up tying with the Netherlands.

I have a full review for this game go check that out. The score was 0-0 at halftime. The Netherland were up 5-0 over Vietnam at the time. That meant that at halftime the United States would have to win 4-0 with the Netherlands not scoring again to win the group. That wasn’t looking likely. The longer the game went on the more likely it looked that it would end 0-0 or 1-0. Portugal almost won the game late but the ball went off the post. The game ended in a 0-0 draw.
