Bacca and Gutierrez Score Second-Half Goals in USA vs. Colombia Friendly

When the USA gained a 1-0 advantage over Colombia from the penalty spot after 10 minutes of their friendly at Craven Cottage, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before the South Americans equalised.  

That's exactly what happened in the 60th minute, when James Carlos Bacca charged toward goal and laid the ball off to James Rodriguez. The Madrid man poked the ball through the U.S. defence before Bacca picked it up again and slotted past Brad Guzan.

There was a certain amount of controversy around the goal, as Teo Gutierrez was clearly standing in an offside position. However, he was not deemed to be interfering with play.
