美國2-2葡萄牙：瓦雷拉拒絕認輸 第95分鐘逼平美國
導語：離結束世界杯之旅還剩幾秒鐘時，葡萄牙前鋒擊碎了美利堅全取3分的希望。
A 95th minute equaliser from Silvestre Varela saw Portugal salvage a 2-2 draw with USA and deny Jurgen Klinsmann's men immediate qualification to the last-16.
據外媒goal.com網站6月23日報道，比賽第95分鐘，瓦雷拉(Silvestre Varela)的進球挽救了葡萄牙隊，幫助本隊2-2逼平美國隊，拒絕讓克林斯曼的球隊馬上晉級。
The USA had come from behind to lead 2-1 on Sunday and looked to have ended Portugal's World Cup campaign in Manaus, before Cristiano Ronalo got free on the right in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time and picked out Varela, who powered a header past Tim Howard.
美國隊在瑪瑙斯的比賽逆轉2-1領先，本有機會終結葡萄牙的世界杯之旅。但傷停補時第5分鐘，C羅右路傳中，瓦雷拉頭球破門，攻破了霍華德(Tim Howard)的十指關。
An early Nani goal saw Portugal respond well to their devastating 4-0 loss to Germany last week, but second-half strikes from Jermaine Jones and captain Clint Dempsey put the USA in front and on the verge of the last-16.
納尼開場階段的進球讓葡萄牙隊擺脫了上周0-4慘敗德國的影響，但下半時美國隊杰曼·瓊斯(Jermaine·Jones)和隊長鄧普西(Clint Dempsey)的進球讓美國隊的一只腳已經踏入了16強。
But Varela's late header ensured the top two positions in Group G remain up for grabs with Germany (four points) on top, level with the USA, while Ghana and Portugal both have slim chances of advancing with one point each.
但瓦雷拉之后的頭球迫使美國隊必須在小組賽最后一場比賽中，與同積4分的德國隊展開廝殺。而本場扳平了美國隊之后，同樣只積一分的葡萄牙隊和加納隊都還有微弱的晉級希望。
The match started horribly for USA with Nani opening the scoring in just the fifth minute.
美國隊本場開局不利。第五分鐘，納尼就攻破了美國隊的大門。
Miguel Veloso's poor cross bounced in front of Geoff Cameron and the central defender sliced his clearance to the back post, where Nani took a touch and then smashed his shot high into the net with Howard stranded.
維洛索(Miguel Veloso)一腳質量不高的傳球彈到了對方中后衛卡梅倫(Geoff Cameron)前面，但后者解圍失誤，將球踢到了后點，納尼得球怒射，攻破了霍華德把守的大門。
The USA notched a deserved equaliser in the 63rd minute when a corner was cleared to Jones and the Schalke midfielder smashed his shot inside the far post, while Howard made another sharp save soon after to deny Raul Meireles.
美國隊在第63分鐘終于扳平了比分。本隊開出角球，無人阻擋的沙爾克04中場瓊斯遠射破門。隨后霍華德做出精彩撲救，將梅雷萊斯(Raul Meireles)的射門拒之門外。
Although Portugal had a few chances to lead again, the USA took the lead with nine minutes remaining when Zusi collected a loose ball in box and crossed for Dempsey to score with his stomach, although Klinsmann's men were denied victory thanks to Varela's late heroics.
盡管葡萄牙隊又創造了一些進球機會，但美國隊卻在比賽還剩9分鐘時，再次取得領先。祖西(Zusi)禁區內得球，傳給鄧普西，后者用腹部將球頂進。但由于瓦雷拉最后階段的英雄般的進球，克林斯曼的球隊未能收獲一場勝利。
