The United States came from behind to beat Chile 4-2 in St Louis, turning a 2-1 deficit early in the second half into a comeback win.

Yahoo Sports’ match account says the USA had most of the first-half possession, while Chile led the shot count. Sebastian Berhalter put the Americans ahead in the 37th minute, but Chile equalised in first-half stoppage time after the USA failed to clear a corner.

Maximiliano Gutierrez moved Chile in front four minutes into the second half. The USA responded two minutes later, with Julian Hall scoring after a cross from Gio Reyna, according to the account.

Chris Richards came on around the hour mark and headed the USA into a 3-2 lead from a Berhalter corner. The Americans added a fourth goal in the 93rd minute, but the supplied account cuts off before describing the move.

The result ended a match that Yahoo Sports described as having three lead changes. Its published account contains inconsistent match references, so details beyond the reported scoring sequence are unclear.
