USA players believe ‘lucky’ win was still deserved

The USA had some breaks, but a 90-minute effort from the team left players feeling proud of a hard-earned result.

Danny Williams believes he has lady luck to thank for his first international goal, but saluted his United States teammates for an astounding effort which resulted in a 4-3 friendly win over the Netherlands on Friday at the Amsterdam ArenA.

"It was an unbelievable game. Great effort from the team. I was lucky that my shot deflected in the end I was lucky to make it 3-3,” Williams said in a postgame interview with ESPN.
