Stuart Holden scored the equalizer two minutes into second half stoppage time to lift the United States into a 2-2 draw with Haiti to clinch the Group B title in the Gold Cup.

The Americans finished group play with two triumphs and a draw and advanced to a quarter-final match next Saturday at Philadelphia against an opponent to be decided by Sunday’s final Group C matches.

The Haitians, who won a 6-5-5 edge over the Americans in the all-time rivalry, seized the lead on goals by Ednerson Raymond in the opening seconds of the second half and Mones Chery three minutes later in the 49th.

Davy Arnaud had given the tournament hosts the lead in the sixth minute.

Canada and Costa Rica have also book quarter-final spots in the North American regional championship.
