Soccer-Luna double sends US into Gold Cup final

July 2 (Reuters) - The United States booked their place in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final with a 2-1 win over Guatemala on Wednesday thanks to a first-half double from Diego Luna at Energizer Park in St. Louis.

Luna opened the scoring just four minutes in, pouncing on a rebound after Guatemala goalkeeper Kenderson Navarro had parried a shot from Luca de la Torre into his path.

The U.S. midfielder doubled the lead in the 15th minute, showcasing clever footwork to create space before sending in a low shot from the edge of the box.

Guatemala increased the pressure and Olger Escobar pulled one back 10 minutes from time with a low drive past Matt Freese but they were unable to find an equaliser.
