Benny Feilhaber scored the game winner in the final of the Gold Cup--a phenomenal volley that silenced the pro Mexican crowd in a match that was back and forth, with equally near goals for both Mexico and the US. Although Mexico was the more dangerous and skillful side in the first half, the US goal to tie it, a penalty kick, knocked the wind out of their sails a bit and the momentum swung to the US. Late in the game Tim Howard made a wonderful point blank save that enabled the US to hold on.
