Steve Ralston assisted on both United States goals, while Keller faced only a handful of shots, none in the first half, en route to matching Tony Meola's career mark. Keller, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League, collected his 31st career shutout saturday in a 2-0 victory over el Salvador. The victory over Martinique means the defending champion United States has won group C of the competition and advances to the Gold Cup quarterfinals. Mcbride opened the scoring for the United States in the 39th minute, heading Ralston's cross into the left corner of the net.
Four minutes later, the pair teamed again, with Ralston taking a long cross on the right side of the goal and tapping it to Mcbride. The Columbus crew forward slammed the ball in from about 5 metres out.
