Fans mingle on the terraces at Chicago's Soldier Field stadium ahead of England's friendly against the United States
USA goalkeeper Kasey Keller's first job is picking Kieran Richardson's 25-yard free-kick out of the back of his net
It is a dream start for Richardson (left), who celebrates his goal, four minutes into his debut, with Alan Smith
The home side hit back though and Landon Donovan's free-kick eludes David James but comes back off the post
Donovan then drags an effort wide from 15 yards as the USA continue to push for an equaliser
The pressure shows on boss Sven-Goran Eriksson's face as England struggle to create many chances
But Richardson makes the USA pay - firing home his second to give England an undeserved 2-0 half-time lead
Alan Smith looks to extend England's lead early in the second half, but he is outjumped by Keller
Clint Dempsey fires home for the USA to ensure a nervy last 15 minutes for England, but the visitors hold on
