Michael Bradley, son of USA coach Bob, scored in the 82nd minute to help his country salvage a 2-2 draw with Slovenia in the World Cup group stage on Friday. Slovenia sized a two-goal advantage in the first half but their opponents roared back to form after the break to cancel out their lead. Valter Birsa opened the scoring after 13 minutes with a delightful curling shot from outside the area, after USA keeper Tim Howard unreasonably advanced forward. Zlatan Ljubijankic doubled Slovenia's lead when he beat the offside trap to go one-on-one with the goalie and slot home with aplomb in injury time. Three minutes after the interval, USA's Landon Donovan reduced the arrears after penetrating the area and notching up a sensational goal from close range with a clinical finish that hit the roof of the net. Bradley sent the USA fans into raptures eight minutes from time when came unmarked to latch onto a Ricardo Clark headed assist and score the equalizer from close range.
