Throwback Thursday: Michael Bradley’s half volley helps the USMNT beat Scotland

It was a muggy night in Jacksonville on May 26, 2012 when the United States took on Scotland in a Memorial Day weekend friendly. While the USMNT would win 5-1, powered by a Landon Donovan hat trick, the play of the night belonged to Michael Bradley and his right foot.

In the 11th minute, with the USMNT already up 1-0, they were once again pushing the ball forward. As they entered the final third, Donovan had the ball on the right side looking for someone in the middle. Finding Jermaine Jones, he sent a cross towards the German-American.
