The U.S. defeated Guatemala on Tuesday night 3-1 and with the win will advance to the final stage of CONCACAF qualifying.

The U.S. survived a dicey start going behind 1-0 within the first five minutes, but then put on an impressive offensive display getting goals from Carlos Bocanegra and two from Clint Dempsey.

Goals - Ruiz 4', Bocanegra 10', Dempsey 18', Dempsey 37'

U.S. - Howard, Cherundolo, Cameron, Bocanegra, Parkhurst, Williams, Bradley, Zusi (Edu '81), Johnson (Corona '89), Dempsey, Gomez (Kljestan '65).
