72'
Alex Morgan replaces Rodriguez.
71'
Sounds of discontent from the stands now as the USA fans are jeering the ref.
70'
Despite having 10 players, the USA are controlling the play as they have done for much of the game. Boxx has slotted into defence to play along side Rampone.
68'
Hope Solo is absolutely livid. Rightfully so. It appears that the referee thought Solo stepped off her line so allowed Brazil to re-take. It didn't look like it was a penalty and it didn't look like Solo came off her line. USA have it all to do now with 10 players.
67'
The ref orders the penalty to be re-taken. I really do not know why!! This time Marta takes it and scores. HARSH!!
66'
SAVED PENALTY!! Solo saves Cristiane's penalty.
65'
RED CARD. Marta flicks the ball over Buehler before going down. It appears that the American gets the ball though. The ref sends her off and awards a penalty.
64'
Marta back heels the ball to Cristiane. She too produces a fine bit of skill to allow her some space. The shot is awful though and flies over.
63'
Lloyd wins a free kick in a dangerous position. Rapinoe crosses for lloyd who headers towards goal. It beats the goalkeeper but not the bar. Very, very close.
62'
There is a break in play as the ref gives Wambach and Aline a talking to. Not sure what has gone on.
61'
Brazil have come alive. Finally. Fabiana bursts down the right and crosses but again, the very impressive Solo is off her line and she cuts it out.
60'
Cristiane stretches the USA defence. The winger cuts in from the left and has a curling effort is on target but Solo makes a diving save.
59'
The corner is fired towards the far post. Aline gets there again but uses her hands to direct the ball towards goal. The ref spots it and gives a free kick.
58'
Marta allows the ball to run through her legs which allows her to beat her defender. She lays the ball across to Rosana who bursts into the box. Rampone puts it out for a corner.
57'
The USA are playing very well as a team. They attack together and they defend solidly together. Brazil however, are not playing too cleverly. Certain players are going for tricks when they have passes on. The Brazilians are getting frustrated with each other.
56'
Rapinoe is now playing on the left and A-Rod will come into the centre. The winger is in the thick of the action straight away but is dispossessed by Ester.
55'
Cheney is replaced by Megan Rapinoe.
54'
Rodriguez has a chance to go one-on-one with Daiane but her control lets her down and she forgets the ball.
53'
Marta plays in Cristiane down the right flank. The latter tries a trick to beat Rampone but the defender just ushers it out. Smart defending.
52'
Got to be a booking. Should be a sending off. Brazil break but Lloyd comes across and uses her arm to keep the ball away from Formiga. She's lucky not to be given a second yellow.
51'
O'Reilly has a chance to break down the right flank but has a lack of concentration and allows the ball to roll out for a throw-in.
