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.
50'
The ball bounces around the USA box following the free kick. Marta attempts to flick it on but Wambach clears up field. Good covering from the striker.
49'
Formiga is clattered by Wambach. The American attempts to get in front of the the Brazilian but flatters her.
48'
The South Americans look very comfortable on the ball and haven't conceded possession so far.
47'
The Brazilians didn't seem fazed at all by the own goal in the first half. They'll just need to be a little more creative in the seond 45 if they are to get back in the game.
46'
Brazil get the second half going.
47'
The referee brings the first half to an end.
45'
Aline flies into a challenge with Wambach and receives a yellow. Marta comes across and shouts at the referee and Wambach. She too receives a booking. Needless.
44'
It's still not working for Brazil in the final third despite their undoubted ability. The USA have defended sternly when they've needed to though.
43'
Boxx finds herself free on the edge of the 18 yard box and attempts a shot on goal. The ball sits up nicely but the shot is weak and Andreia gathers.
42'
It's a little bit hectic and a bit sloppy now. Brazil are trying to snatch a goal before half-time and the U.S are determined to take the lead into the break.
41'
Rodriguez is caught in possession on the half-way line. Marta breaks before playing it to Cristiane. Lepeilbet comes across and makes a very good challenge to win the ball back.
40'
The Americans are passing it nicely between their midfielders and defenders. Rampone sees Buehler out on the left and plays it towards her. The ball bounces before it reaches the player a goes out for a throw-in.
39'
The USA have a chance to break through Boxx. The player has options to her left and right but takes too long to release the ball and is dispossessed.
38'
Marta's not having the best of games again. She is barged off the ball and has a bit of a go at Lepeilbet.
37'
Fabiana capitalises on a mix up at the back and flick the ball up before attempting to cross. It's mis-hit though and flies towards goal, hitting the bar and flying to safety. It caught Solo out but I think she had it covered.
36'
Rodrigiez attempts a cross-field pass for Wambach. The ball wrong-foots Aline but Daiane comes across to cut it out.
35'
Cristiana has a positive run through the USA half. She shows a burst of pace to beat two players before shooting. It's hit well but fails to trouble Solo.
34'
The ball is played into the USA penalty area. Krieger allows the ball to bounce and it looks like it's going to fall for Rosana. Solo again charges off her line and takes everything with her. Very good goalkeeping yet again.
33'
"USA. USA. USA" can be heard echoing throughout the stadium. The American fans are obvioulsy the happier of the two and are voicing their content.
32'
From what started out at such a high-tempo game now seems to have settled down into a stalemate. I'm sure there is much more action to come though...
