Former Akron Zip Darlington Nagbe nets game-winning goal against Ecuador

While former Akron Zip Darlington Nagbe's international soccer career is just getting started, he's already starting to make a mark.

Nagbe's 90th-minute strike from the middle of the box lifted the U.S. Men's National Team to a 1-0 victory over a strong Ecuador side in a friendly. It was Nagbe's first goal for the USMNT after gaining U.S. citizenship just a year ago.

Nagbe started the game on the bench but was inserted into the game during halftime, subbing off starting midfielder Kyle Beckerman.
