The USA took command at minute 57 on a goal by Joe Corona. Chris Wondolowski would go on to score two more goals to end the scoring at 4-1. The match took place in Sandy, Utah.
Donovan has 53 career goals including 15 in 30 Gold Cup appearances. Wondolowski has six goals in the three matches the USA has played in this year’s tournament.
