Bradley, the coach’s son, scored in the 82nd minute after picking up Jozy Altidore’s header. Landon Donovan had made it 2-1 with a hard right-footed shot into the roof of the net from a tight angle three minutes after the break.

Valter Birsa and Zlatan Ljubijankic scored for Slovenia in the first half.

Slovenia has 4 points in the group and the Americans have 2.
