USA battle back to rescue point
Posted Saturday, June 19, 2010 by PA
The United States rescued their World Cup hopes with a second-half comeback to secure a 2-2 draw with Slovenia at Ellis Park.
Slovenia looked on course to secure a last 16 berth thanks to goals from Valter Birsa and Zlatan Ljubijankic in the first 45 minutes but a Landon Donovan goal early in the second period gave the USA belief.
They refused to give up on the game and Michael Bradley, son of coach Bob, grabbed the leveller in the 82nd minute after racing into the box to turn in a Jozy Altidore nod-down and the Americans had a further goal from Maurice Edu disallowed, apparently for some shirt-pulling in the box.
