Watch: Dempsey converts penalty for 50th international goal

Jurgen Klinsmann received a lifeline on Tuesday.

In only the seventh minute of the United States Men's National Team's must-win fixture against Costa Rica at the Copa America Centenario, the USMNT was awarded a penalty kick when Bobby Wood was pushed down by Cristian Gamboa in front of referee Roddy Zambrano.
