JermaineJohnson was a lively presence on the right flank and forced a decent save from the excellent Julian Speroni, who also held a weak Mark Beevers header and a poor Luke Varney strike.
Klinsmann used his three substitutes in the early part of the second half, inserting Maurice Edu, Sacha Kljestan and Zusi for Danny Williams, Eddie Johnson and Jermaine Jones.
