Colin Chong watches USA and Slovenia share the points in a match where the Americans felt hard done by.
Slovenia
Samir Handanovic - 6
There was nothing he could do to stop both the goals. Tough luck Samir.
Miso Brecko - 7
His steaming runs forward were threatening and his clearance prevented Donovan from a simple tap in goal.
Marko Suler - 4
The previous match's success must have gotten to his head as he was careless in many situations today.
Bostjan Cesar - 6
Did a very good job in contrast to his defensive counterparts.
Bojan Jokic - 6.5
The defender showed his experience today in defence, always calm and in control.
Valter Birsa (87' off) - 7
His brilliantly taken left footed shot left Howard rooted to the spot.
Robert Koren - 6.5
Very Mediocre in comparison to his last game, but he kept and distributed the ball ever so well.
Aleksander Radosavljevic - 5
The midfielder barely contributed to his team's cause today. Suprising to see him play the full 90 minutes.
Andraz Kirm - 7.5
The obedient horse for the Slovenians. He just couldn't stop running.
Zlatan Ljubijankic (74' off) - 7
Beat the offside trap well and scored with a calmly placed shot past Howard. He was the livelier of the two forwards.
Milivoje Novakovic - 5
The quality of the balls to this man has been poor all night. Perhaps his manager wanted to keep an aerial threat on even though he has not been productive.
Substitutions
Nejc Pecnik (74' on, 90' off) - 4
Came on to chase loose balls and hope for a defensive error perhaps?
Dedic (87' on)
N/A
Andrej Komac (90' on)
N/A
USA
Tim Howard - 6.5
He could have done a better job to prevent the second goal from rolling under his outstretched arms. Other than that, a mistake free day for him.
Steve Cherundolo - 7
The determined defender was near perfect in his duties and he ensured he got to every ball.
Oguchi Onyewu (80' off) - 6.5
The former A.C. Milan man played his part today, but he was powerless to help his team to a victory.
Jay Demerit - 7
Really dominant in the air in both halves of the pitch.
Carlos Bocanegra - 6
He has to improve his game further if the USA were to dream of qualifying in this group.
Landon Donovan - 8
Came back to defend for large periods of the first half. He then slipped past his marker and scored from an almost impossible angle just minutes after the restart.
Michael Bradley - 7.5
Was energetic throughout the game. Poped up at the right place and right time to slot home the equalizer. A "never say die" attitude.
Jose Francisco Torres (46' off)
The freekick just before half time was the only highlight for the match.
Clint Dempsey - 5.5
I am uncertain he is the same individual playing for Fulham in England. He took a day off today.
Jozy Altidore - 5
Poor touches from him means his team was constantly under pressure. His hopeless flick ons and needless fouls only simplified the defender's job.
Robbie Findley (46' off)
His explosive pace made life miserable for the Slovenian defence, but only for a mere 45 minutes.
Substitutions
Benny Feilhaber (46' on) - 5
Aimlessly firing from outside the box. Keeping Findley on would have been a better choice.
Maurice Edu (46' on) - 6
He was only noticeable when he "scored". Why his goal was disallowed remains a mystery.
Herculez Gomez (80' on)
N/A
