FOXBOROUGH: United States soccer team beat Haiti 1-0 in a CONCACAF Gold Cup match on Friday night.
Jurgen Klinsmann made numerous changes to the USMNT starting lineup in their second match of group play, but it was a halftime substitution that turned the tide in the American’s favor as they defeated Haiti 1-0 at Gillette Stadium, in the process clinching Group A and a spot in the knockout stage of the Gold Cup.
After a stagnant first half of play for the host team, Gyasi Zardes came on to start the second and set up Clint Dempsey’s 47th-minute strike to send the United States to their second win of the tournament.

Dempsey has scored in the last four games he’s played for the U.S. national team, one shy of the record Altidore set two years ago. Dempsey’s 44 international goals are 13 shy of Landon Donovan’s American record.
The Americans have won six in a row, are 30-1-2 in Gold Cup group play and have reached the knockout stage of all 13 Gold Cup tournaments. They have one game remaining in the group stage, against Panama on Monday in Kansas City, Kansas.
