Fulham's Brian McBride scored the winner as the United States beat Angola 1-0 in a behind-closed-doors World Cup practice game in Hamburg.

No journalists or spectators were allowed at the game, which featured unlimited substitutions.

USA captain Claudio Reyna returned after a hamstring injury and goalkeeper Tim Howard also had a run-out.

Angola played much of the game with 10 men after Loco picked up his second booking in the 30th minute.

America face Italy, the Czech Republic and Ghana in Group E at the World Cup in Germany.

Tournament debutants Angola are in Group D where they take on Portugal, Mexico and Iran.
