Over thirty fouls were called on what had been expected to be a physical match between the two rivals. The game was played in front of a sold-out crowd of 70,000 plus in Houston, Texas’ Reliant Stadium and marked the tenth straight match where Mexico has not won on U.S. soil.

Just a small clarification, it wasn' Altidore's debut game. It was his first start, though.
Thanks for the clarification.
