The United States National Team came from behind to defeat Turkey, 2-1, in the USA’s final exhibition game on American soil before the World Cup.

Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey scored the two second-half goals for the USA, both off of assists from Landon Donovan.

Stu Holden played the final 10 minutes of the match as a substitute for Altidore. Stu played the entire 90 minutes of the USA’s match against the Czech Republic last Tuesday.

The USA leaves for South Africa tomorrow where it will play one more exhibition match before the 2010 World Cup begins.
