Why am I so surprised Gwen Jorgensen took home Americas first Olympic gold in the triathlon? Thats an event I though the U.S. would have owned a long time ago.?9. Can you think of a better show of sportswomanship?10. Usain Bolts dominance and magnetism aside, what was your favorite non-American Olympic moment?

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A pro-American crowd of 24,650 chanted Dos a cero! at the start.Mexican supporters yelled Dos a uno! as they left.Rafa Marquez scored a tiebreaking goal on a header in the 89th minute, giving Mexico a 2-1 victory Friday night and its first victory at the United States in World Cup qualifying since 1972.After winning four straight home qualifiers against Mexico by 2-0 scores -- all in Columbus -- the U.S. hoped to open the final round of the North and Central American and Caribbean region with another victory. Instead, the Americans began the hexagonal with a loss for the second straight cycle, and they play Tuesday night at Costa Rica, where they have never won in qualifying.It gets a sense of anger in us. It gets a sense of absolutely urgency, U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. Its not a problem, but its obviously disappointing.Miguel Layun put Mexico ahead in the 20th minute, but Bobby Wood tied it in the 49th.The U.S. dominated the second half before the 37-year-old Marquez, unmarked and drifting across the penalty area at the near post, got a glancing nod on Layuns corner kick. The Mexican captain lifted the ball over goalkeeper Brad Guzan for his 17th international goal.Mexicos previous win at the U.S. in qualifying was also by a 2-1 score, at the Los Angeles Coliseum.I think we deserved this match, Layun said.

But Howard pulled a muscle in his right leg on a goal kick and was replaced in the 40th minute.Howard was to have a scan Saturday, a day before the U.S. travels, and Klinsmann said Howard likely will miss the match at Costa Rica. Sheyi Ojo Jersey. He knows its not looking that good, Klinsmann said.The top three teams in the six-nation round qualify for the World Cup, and the fourth-place country advances to a playoff.With the U.S. struggling early in what Klinsmann called a 3-4-3 formation, Mexico could have led 3-0. Howard tipped Jesus Coronas 10th-minute shot off a post and Carlos Velas 25th-minute header hit a crossbar.Out midfielders didnt get into the one-on-one battles we expected them to, Klinsmann said, citing Jermaine Jones and Bradley.After switching to a more familiar 4-4-2 in the 27th minute, the Americans began to find their rhythm, and Wood scored off a pass from Altidore.It was 44 degrees at game time, half the 90-degree temperature for the 2013 match in Columbus, when the U.S. clinched its seventh straight World Cup berth.Mexico went ahead after Bradley and Giovani dos Santos battled for the ball 30 yards out. The ball skipped to Layun, who took a touch, and his right-footed shot deflected off Timmy Chandler past Howards left for his fourth international goal in 46 appearances,Wood tied the score after Brooks forced a turnover.
