The USA vs Brazil #FIFA Women’s International Friendly match played on June 9 was many things... but "friendly" was definitely not one of them.

A deflected own goal in the second half gave the USA women's national team a 1-0 victory over Brazil in a chaotic match that saw EIGHT red cards handed to the Brazilians.

Brazil's coach Arthur Elias and three assistant coaches were sent off with red cards. Bia Zaneratto and Tarciane were both handed red cards, taking Brazil down to nine players in stoppage time and two additional players were carded following the match.

Marta, a six-time FIFA World Player of the Year, was subbed into the match in the 80th minute, making her 212th appearance for Brazil.

It was the second of two matches in Brazil for the Americans. USA fell 2-1 in the opener on Saturday in Sao Paulo.

Brazil will host the FIFA Women's World Cup for the first time next year, and the qualifying cycle is on fire. Are you looking forward to it? ⚽🔥
