The Starting XI
Captain Michael Bradley gathers the team for a pre-match huddle.
At the 45th minute Brek Shea sends a free kick up and over the wall to score and put the U.S. ahead, 0-1 just before the end of the half.
Klinsmann works in subs to start the second half.
Altidore gets a red card — at 68th minute — getting sent off and leaving the U.S. to play the rest of the match with 10 men. It’s his first ever red card in 80 USMNT appearances.

Good effort by the U.S.
Alexi Lalas and some not too subtle post-match commentary.
