The United States defeated Germany 4-3 on Sunday in front of a capacity crowd of 47,359 at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC. The game marked the Centennial celebration for the United States Soccer Federation, and the two teams didn’t disappoint. Jozy Altidore opened the scoring in the 13th minute and an unlikely Germany own-goal made it 2-0 in the 16th. Germany goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen found it impossible to handle a slow moving backpass with the ball winding up crossing the line for a USA goal. In the second-half, Germany pulled a goal back when Heiko Westermann scored in the 51st minute. The United States responded with goals from Clint Dempsey in the 60th and 65th minute. Germany’s Max Kruse scored in the 78th minute and Julian Draxler pulled Germany within a goal in the 81st.

“We’re happy with the win, but at the same time we expect a lot out of ourselves,” Dempsey said. “We’re not happy with conceding the amount of goals that we’ve conceded in these two games. It needs to be better. Even though we’re playing against top quality, we need to do a better job of protecting our ‘keeper. At the same time, we’re happy with the result in the sense of winning and we take confidence from beating a good team.”
