The USA were just seconds away from winning their second consecutive
game when Cristiano Ronaldo made a perfect cross into the box for Varela
to head past goalkeeper Tim Howard and force the 2-2 draw.
Portugal
had taken a fifth-minute lead when Manchester United winger Nani
punished a poor defensive clearance by Geoff Cameron but the Americans
drew level with a long-range strike from Jermaine Jones after the hour
mark.
USA captain Clint Dempsey then gave Jurgen Klinsmann's side a
2-1 lead nine minutes from time before Portugal snatched a vital point
in Manaus.
The outcome at the Arena Amazonia leaves the USA level with their final Group G opponents Germany on four points. Ghana and Portugal, however, are both three points off the pace before facing one another.
