After Dempsey proves a liability as he is disposessed in what led to the match's opening goal, the U.S. rallied last night to beat Honduras 2:1 on a 43" Landon Donovan penalty and Carlos Bocanegra's 68" diving header to finish a Donovan corner. Dempsey, perhaps seeking redemption from his earlier misfortune by setting of the game winner by heading down the Donovan corner setting up the Bocanegra goal.
