The mood at Crown & Anchor British Pub Wednesday morning was somber for U.S. fans with only three minutes until certain elimination from the World Cup. But in the first minute of injury overtime, Landon Donovan scored a history-making goal that advances the U.S. to the second round with a 1-0 win over Algeria. The winning goal gave the U.S. first place in Group C, having scored one more goal in total than England. This is the first time the U.S. has won a group since 1930. Las Vegas Sun reporter Katharine Euphrat caught the moment of rowdy celebration very early Wednesday morning at Crown & Anchor.
