The USMNT's Stuart Holden (also of Houston Dynamo) had an especially great night tonight !
from US Soccer,
"A 24-yard blast from Stuart Holden in the second minute of stoppage time provided an young U.S. squad with a dramatic 2-2 draw with Haiti this evening at Gillette Stadium to clinch first place in Group B and move on to the quarterfinals of the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup."
"Holden also assisted on the game’s opening goal in the sixth minute by Davy Arnaud, but Haiti answered back with two goals in a three-minute span at the start of the second half. The U.S., which controlled play for large spans of the game, was finally rewarded when Holden uncorked his perfect strike into the upper right hand corner."
