Ecuador hit back in the second half through Michael Arroyo, but the South American side could not find the vital equaliser at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.

However, both sides were forced to play the majority of the second period with 10 men after Jermaine Jones and Antonio Valencia were sent off for USA and Ecuador respectively.
The win means USA will face the winner of Argentina and Venezuela next week in Houston for a spot in the final.
