The United States are through to the final of the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup following a rather clinical 2-0 win over Honduras.
The opening goal came just before the break as a corner kick from Stuart Holden was headed past keeper Escober by the tall defender Clarence Goodson.
Apart from a chance for striker Carlos Costly late on, Honduras rarely managed to get anywhere near the opposing goal as the US easily defended their advantage.
In the 90th minute, a well-performed US attack allowed Kenny Cooper to make it 2-0. A back-heel from Brian Ching found Holden whose following pass had Cooper only needing to push it in from close range.
In Sunday s final, the US team face either Mexico or Costa Rica, who play in Thursday s second semi final game.
