Cristiano Ronaldo's hopes of making the last 16 are in jeopardy. Just as it looked as though the Americans had secured a come-from-behind victory to qualify for the second round, Varela scored with a flying header from a Cristiano Ronaldo cross. Clint Dempsey had given the United States the lead in the 81st minute, steering the ball home with his stomach from close range.
A draw between Germany and USA will see both through, while Portugal must beat Ghana to have a chance of progressing.
Portugal are relying on a Germany win and must also achieve a six-goal swing if they are to pip the USA to second place and reach the last 16.
