Bradley's goals lead U.S. men over Mexico: Michael Bradley scored twice to lead the United States men to a 2-0 victory over Mexico in a World Cup qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday night, preserving the Americans' domination in the series over the past nine years.

On a wet and windy night at Crew Stadium — under the threat of a tornado watch — the Americans ran their record to 9-0-2 on U.S. soil against Mexico since 2000.

After both teams played cautiously at the outset, the Americans finally broke through.

DaMarcus Beasley's corner kick found Landon Donovan at the far side of the 6-yard box, with Donovan heading it back into the scrum. Oguchi Onyewu's header was stopped by diving Mexico goaltender Oswaldo Sanchez, but the rebound came right into the path of Bradley, who kicked it in from 6 yards.

Then, in second-half stoppage time, Bradley took a pass from Donovan, and his shot from 28 yards dipped under Sanchez's arms.

Mexico captain Rafael Marquez was ejected in the 65th minute when he went high to spike goalkeeper Tim Howard as they went for a loose ball.
