In Sunday's late game, the U.S. soccer team yielded a goal in the final minute to settle for a 2-2 draw against Portugal in Manaus. The U.S. and Germany both have four points in Group G, and both would advance if they play to a draw on Thursday.

Portugal and Ghana each have one point and are still alive, though barely. They play one another Thursday and either would need a win to have a chance of advancing. If they draw, the U.S. and Germany would both reach the second round no matter what happens in their match.

The final scores from Sunday were:

USA, 2; Portugal, 2
