The U.S. Men's National Team beat Mexico tonight in Columbus, Ohio, with a final score of 2-0. Michael Bradley scored both goals, one at the end of the first half and another at the end of the second.
In the 41st minute, a DaMarcus Beasley corner kick found Donovan, who sent a header in the direction of Onyewu. Onyewu took a header towards the goal, and the shot was denied by goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez. Bradley caught the rebound and put the ball in the net to end the first half on a high note for the U.S. During the second minute of stoppage time at the end of the second half, Bradley scored again for the U.S. from a Donovan assist. Overall, the U.S. played a good possession game, and while Mexico created some good chances, they were not able to follow through. The U.S. win was well-deserved.
