The U.S. soccer team started 2015 the same way the Americans ended last year: with a loss.The USA have not won in five matches, including consecutive losses to Colombia, Republic of Ireland and Chile.
Mark Gonzalez scored in the 66th and 75th minutes, rallying Chile to a 3-2 exhibition win over the U.S. on Wednesday night that sent the Americans to their first five-game winless streak since 2007.
Mark Gonzalez was the star of the show as Chile twice came from behind to defeat United States 3-2 win at the Estadio El Teniente in Rancagua on Wednesday.
Jozy Altidore put USA back in front just after the half-hour mark but Mark Gonzalez levelled matters midway through the second half before netting a 75th-minute winner to consign the Americans to a third consecutive defeat.
Sampaoli's side finished the match with 24 shots, including 10 on target, while the Americans had 12 efforts, with just five testing Chile goalkeeper Jhonny Herrera.
Jermaine Jones - better known as a defensive midfielder - slotted into the middle of the Americans' back three, with Brek Shea and DeAndre Yedlin filling the wing-back positions.
Chile equalised in the 10th minute when Gonzalez found space on the left and picked out Gutierrez, while Mix Diskerud got in behind Diego Valdes just after the half-hour mark to set-up Altidore with a cut-back.
