Muskego's Andrija Novakovich scored the fourth goal of his youth international career Wednesday night, helping the U.S. Under-18 national team rally for a 2-2 draw against host France in the first match of a tournament in Limoges.

The U.S. trailed 2-0 at halftime, but Novakovich started the comeback with a goal in the 56th minute.

After a free kick was played into the box and pinged around, it came out to an American player at the top of the box. He took a shot that hit off the left post and Novakovich finished off the rebound. (Watch highlights below, goal sequence begins at the 4:42 mark).

It was his first goal in three appearances with the Under-18 team; he scored three times in three games for the Under-17 national team in July at a tournament in Japan.

The Americans, who tied the match in the 80th minute, face the Czech Republic on Friday and Poland on Sunday to close out the event.
