Sunderland striker Altidore scores twice in USA win

Sunderland striker Jozy Altidore struck twice in the USA's 2-1 friendly win over Nigeria.

Altidore ended his six-month goal drought for club and country with a goal in each half to send the U.S. to Brazil on the back of three successive friendly victories.

Nigeria forward Victor Moses spoiled Tim Howard's hopes of a clean sheet in his 100th international appearance with a late consolation from the penalty spot.
