Men&#8217;s National Team Under-23s will be stuck at home for the second straight Summer Olympic tournament after falling 2-1 (3-2 on aggregate) to Colombia in Tuesday&#8217;s Qualifying Playoff 2nd Leg at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Tx. <\/p>\n<p>After securing a 1-1 draw in Colombia on Friday, the U.S. conceded a 30th minute Roger Mart\u00ednez goal to go down 2-1 on aggregate. <\/p>\n<p>A Deiber Machado own goal restored hope for the young Americans in the 57th minute, but it was short-lived after Martinez struck again in the 64th minute. <\/p>\n<p>The situation for the U.S. deteriorated rapidly from there, as second-half substitute Luis Gil was sent off in the 77th minute. <\/p>\n<p>Matt Miazga was dismissed 13 minutes later, leaving the hosts with only nine men when the final whistle blew on their quest to compete in Rio this summer.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. last participated in Olympic action during the 2008 Games in Beijing, where it posted a 1-1-1 record but did not advance past the group stage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the second straight occasion, the U.S. U-23s failed to qualify for the Summer Olympics after falling to Colombia.
