Steve Trittschuh's inability to clear the ball out of the area led to the second goal. Windischmann got possession and lost it to Ivan Hasek, whom he tripped while reaching for the ball. On the penalty kick, Meola guessed correctly, diving to his right, but Michel Bilek powered it into the upper corner for a two-goal lead.
In the 51st minute, Hasek headed home Frantisek Straka's corner kick while U.S. defenders played statues, standing around as spectators.
Two minutes later, Wynalda was awarded a red card for retaliating against midfielder Lubomir Moracik, who had stepped on his foot, becoming the first U.S. player to be ejected from a World Cup match.
"It's called paying your dues," Gansler said. "Eric got baited. No. 11 stepped on his foot and he pushed back. And a lot of times the first foul is not seen. It's a matter of inexperience."
Playing a man down, Caligiuri raced down the right wing, eluded two defenders, and pulled goalkeeper Jan Stejskal out of the net to score from 12 yards in the 61st minute. It was the USA’s first World Cup goal since John Souza tallied in a 5-2 loss to Chile in Recife, Brazil on July 2, 1950.
"At 3-0, you have to take risks," Caligiuri said.
Skuhravy headed in his second goal in the 79th minute, and substitute Milan Luhovy closed out the scoring two minutes into injury time.
Sandwiched between those two goals was a penalty kick awarded after midfielder John Harkes tripped a player in the box. Bilek, trying to embarrass the U.S. by chipping it into the upper right corner. Meola caught it in mid-air.
"He was trying to get too cute," Meola said. "That'll teach him."

Several minutes later, referee Kurt Roethlisberger of Switzerland mercifully whistled an end. "The most frustrating thing is we made all the oddsmakers look like kings," Meola said.
