The U.S. drew the Ivory Coast 0-0 at a four-nation Hong Kong warm-up tournament for the Beijing Olympics on Wednesday.
The Netherlands, considered a leading contender for gold in Beijing, was to play Cameroon later Wednesday at the Hong Kong Stadium.
The Ivory Coast dominated the first half but failed to convert. Kafoumba Coulibaly had two shots on goal late in the half but U.S. goalkeeper Brad Guzan caught both.
The United States seized the momentum briefly in the second half before the Ivory Coast carved out some promising later chances without finishing. Sekou Cisse's strike from near the edge of the area produced another good save by Guzan.
The U.S. will play Cameroon on Saturday and the Ivory Coast will play the Netherlands.
