Jozy Altidore received his first red card in international soccer as 10-man United States drew 1-1 with Switzerland
Brek Shea opened the scoring just before halftime, with the Orlando City man bending home an excellent free kick. But the game changed when Altidore recieved a red card on the 66th minute
Vladimir Petkovic's Switzerland pushed on to try to capitalize on its numerical superiority, and the pressure duly told as Valentin Stocker prodded home an 80th-minute equalizer from close range.
Both sides struggled to create chances in the early going but USA would have taken the lead had Michael Bradley been more accurate when presented with a simple chance in the 27th minute.
The midfielder shot over the crossbar from point-blank range with the goal gaping following good work from Alejandro Bedoya to get to the byline and pull the ball back.
