For the second straight match at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, the U.S. Men's National Team had to play a man down against one of the best teams in the world and eventually fell to fifth-ranked Brazil 3-0 at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in South Africa.

After going down by two goals in the first half, the U.S. saw Sacha Kljestan sent off in the 57th minute and Brazil tallied their final goal five minutes later. The U.S. will face Egypt in their final match on Sunday, June 21 in Rustenburg.
