The United States stunned the world as they beat European Champion Spain 2-0 in the Confederations Cup semi-finals on goals by Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey. Altidore scored the initial goal in the 27th minute after a booming shot found itself in the back of Iker Casillas' net. Dempsey later netted a second-half goal due to sloppy defending from a usually stout Spanish defense.
