The Republic of Ireland are drawing one apiece with the USA in this friendly international at the Aviva Stadium.
The Boys in Green opened the scoring in the seventh minute through Anthony Pilkington.
Former Norwich midfielder Pilkington played an exquisite one-two with debut boy David McGoldrick who made the telling pass with the outside of his foot for the Cardiff City midfielder to dink the ball over American keeper Bill Hamid.
But Ireland gave away the equaliser following a dreadful crossfield ball from David Meyler.
The Hull City midfielder passed into the path of the onrushing Americans who took full advantage with Mikkel Diskerud slotting home from close range.
And the USA dominated after that without adding to the scoreline coming up to the interval.
