East Hartford, CT (SportsNetwork.com) - Landon Donovan played 40 minutes and then waved goodbye to international soccer on Friday at Rentschler Field as the United States and Ecuador played to a 1-1 draw in a friendly. Mix Diskerud put the Americans ahead in the fifth minute, but a late equalizer from Enner Valencia salvaged a draw for the visitors. However, all eyes were on Donovan, and he nearly penned a storybook finish by twice coming close to scoring in his 157th and final appearance. Donovan had a hand in the opening goal as he crossed the ball to the back post for Jozy Altidore, who brought it down for DeAndre Yedlin to leave for Diskerud, allowing him to score on a first-time shot. It was said prior to the game that Donovan would likely come off after 30 minutes, but he nearly made his time count in the 25th when Altidore dropped off a pass inside the box that saw Donovan beat goalkeeper Maximo Banguera, only for the ball to hit the right post. The 35th minute also provided a great chance as Donovan found himself in possession at the top of the penalty area, but his shot skipped just inches past the left post. It would be Donovans final opportunity as he was replaced by Joe Corona two minutes later, leaving the field to a standing ovation. When things got back underway in the second half, Ecuador put more pressure on the Americans and nearly equalized in the 63rd through Juan Cazares. But Valencia provided a brilliant finish to the match with his equalizing goal in the 88th minute that saw him drill a curling shot into the bottom right corner from 30 yards, leaving U.S. goalkeeper Brad Guzan helpless. The result was of little importance to most fans, however, as the night belonged to Donovan, who retires from the national team as the career leader in goals (57) and assists (58), while his 157 caps place him second all time.
