Spain 0-2 USA

USA caused one of the biggest surprises in Confederations Cup history by beating European champions Spain to reach Sunday’s final.

Jozy Altidore scored the opener when he turned his marker Joan Capdevila to fire in from 15 yards.

Fulham’s Clint Dempsey doubled the lead in the second half when he converted Landon Donovan’s pass from close range.

Tim Howard saved from Fernando Torres and Cesc Fabregas before USA’s Michael Bradley saw red for a foul on Xavi.

Many would have predicted Spain to win the match with a lot to spare, judging by the ease with which they won their group games.
