Midfielder snatches 82nd min equaliser as USA rally from 0-2 down to steal draw with minnows
Midfielder Michael Bradley's late goal sealed the United States' fight back as they drew 2-2 with Slovenia at the World Cup yesterday to keep their hopes of reaching the last 16 alive.
Slovenia were on course for the knock-out round having led 2-0 at half-time thanks to goals by midfielder Valter Birsa and striker Zlatan Ljubijankic before the US fought back to force the equaliser and even had a third goal disallowed.
First right-wing Landon Donovan scored a superb goal on 48 minutes, then the equaliser came with eight minutes left as US striker Jozy Altidore flicked on a header deep in the penalty area and Bradley fired his shot home.
