Pulisic offsets Rodrygo goal as USA hold Brazil 1-1 in Copa America warm-up

Christian Pulisic scored in the 26th minute to offset Rodrygo's 17th-minute goal, and the USA played to a spirited 1-1 draw against Brazil on Wednesday night in Orlando, Florida, in the last warm-up for both teams ahead of the Copa America.

Rebounding from a 5-1 loss to Colombia last weekend, the USA stopped their 11-game losing streak against the Brazilians in a wide-open match. The Americans are now 1-18-1 following their first draw against Brazil, having claimed their only win in the 1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinals.

Matt Turner made 11 saves, the most for an American goalkeeper since Tim Howard's 15 in their second-round 2-1 loss to Belgium at the 2014 World Cup.

One of six invited guests to the Copa America, the USA will open against Bolivia on June 23 and then play Panama and Uruguay. Brazil, which last won the South American title in 2007, have group stage games against Costa Rica, Paraguay and Colombia.

The match drew a mostly pro-Brazilian crowd of 60,016 to Camping World Stadium, the largest attendance for a USA national team game in Florida.

Yunus Musah nearly put the hosts ahead in the fifth minute with a 25-yard shot that hit the crossbar and ricocheted off the back of goalkeeper Alisson and away from the net.

Brazil went ahead when Turner took a backpass from Tim Ream and sent the ball upfield for Musah, who was switching off. Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes intercepted with a header toward Raphinha, who fed Rodrigyo with a diagonal pass for his sixth international goal, an eight-yard shot past Turner's left arm.

Pulisic was pulled down by Joao Gomes at the edge of the penalty area and slotted a free kick through the defensive wall and past Alisson's right hand for his 29th goal in 68 international appearances.

Turner made excellent stops on 17-year Endrick in the 70th, Rodrygo in the 74th and Vinicius Junior in the 87th, then punched away Andreas Pereira's free kick in the sixth minute of stoppage time. Alisson denied Pulisic in the 68th and Brenden Aaronson in the 80th.
