美国2-2葡萄牙:瓦雷拉拒绝认输 第95分钟逼平美国
导语:离结束世界杯之旅还剩几秒钟时,葡萄牙前锋击碎了美利坚全取3分的希望。
A 95th minute equaliser from Silvestre Varela saw Portugal salvage a 2-2 draw with USA and deny Jurgen Klinsmann's men immediate qualification to the last-16.
据外媒goal.com网站6月23日报道,比赛第95分钟,瓦雷拉(Silvestre Varela)的进球挽救了葡萄牙队,帮助本队2-2逼平美国队,拒绝让克林斯曼的球队马上晋级。
The USA had come from behind to lead 2-1 on Sunday and looked to have ended Portugal's World Cup campaign in Manaus, before Cristiano Ronalo got free on the right in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time and picked out Varela, who powered a header past Tim Howard.
美国队在玛瑙斯的比赛逆转2-1领先,本有机会终结葡萄牙的世界杯之旅。但伤停补时第5分钟,C罗右路传中,瓦雷拉头球破门,攻破了霍华德(Tim Howard)的十指关。
An early Nani goal saw Portugal respond well to their devastating 4-0 loss to Germany last week, but second-half strikes from Jermaine Jones and captain Clint Dempsey put the USA in front and on the verge of the last-16.
纳尼开场阶段的进球让葡萄牙队摆脱了上周0-4惨败德国的影响,但下半时美国队杰曼·琼斯(Jermaine·Jones)和队长邓普西(Clint Dempsey)的进球让美国队的一只脚已经踏入了16强。
But Varela's late header ensured the top two positions in Group G remain up for grabs with Germany (four points) on top, level with the USA, while Ghana and Portugal both have slim chances of advancing with one point each.
但瓦雷拉之后的头球迫使美国队必须在小组赛最后一场比赛中,与同积4分的德国队展开厮杀。而本场扳平了美国队之后,同样只积一分的葡萄牙队和加纳队都还有微弱的晋级希望。
The match started horribly for USA with Nani opening the scoring in just the fifth minute.
美国队本场开局不利。第五分钟,纳尼就攻破了美国队的大门。
Miguel Veloso's poor cross bounced in front of Geoff Cameron and the central defender sliced his clearance to the back post, where Nani took a touch and then smashed his shot high into the net with Howard stranded.
维洛索(Miguel Veloso)一脚质量不高的传球弹到了对方中后卫卡梅伦(Geoff Cameron)前面,但后者解围失误,将球踢到了后点,纳尼得球怒射,攻破了霍华德把守的大门。
The USA notched a deserved equaliser in the 63rd minute when a corner was cleared to Jones and the Schalke midfielder smashed his shot inside the far post, while Howard made another sharp save soon after to deny Raul Meireles.
美国队在第63分钟终于扳平了比分。本队开出角球,无人阻挡的沙尔克04中场琼斯远射破门。随后霍华德做出精彩扑救,将梅雷莱斯(Raul Meireles)的射门拒之门外。
Although Portugal had a few chances to lead again, the USA took the lead with nine minutes remaining when Zusi collected a loose ball in box and crossed for Dempsey to score with his stomach, although Klinsmann's men were denied victory thanks to Varela's late heroics.
尽管葡萄牙队又创造了一些进球机会,但美国队却在比赛还剩9分钟时,再次取得领先。祖西(Zusi)禁区内得球,传给邓普西,后者用腹部将球顶进。但由于瓦雷拉最后阶段的英雄般的进球,克林斯曼的球队未能收获一场胜利。
