LONDON, Nov 15 (AP): Teofilo "Teo" Gutierrez headed in a late goal as Colombia came from behind to beat the United States 2-1 in a friendly at Craven Cottage Friday.
Wilting under late pressure is becoming all too familiar for the Americans, who have conceded second-half goals in three consecutive, winless matches.
Jozy Altidore had put the US in front from the penalty spot in the 10th minute at Fulham's west London stadium, having scored just once for Sunderland this season.
Colombia was the superior side all night but only managed to equalise in the 61st when Carlos Bacca, who had been denied a penalty at the end of the first half, struck the equaliser.Gutierrez then scored in the 87th minute for the win."We will improve, but I like the ambition," Colombia coach Jose Pekerman said.
