SALVADOR, Brazil : The United States held tough against Belgium's relentless pressure and took Tuesday's second round match to extra time at 0-0 at the World Cup.
U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard made a tough save in the first minute to deny teenager Divock Origi to start a standout game as waves of Belgian attacks largely went unanswered in a lopsided match.
Yet the United States relied on its stamina, and on Howard, to force extra time. The game was briefly delayed when a man ran onto the field in the 16th minute and had to be escorted off.
