Despite Brazil's persistent efforts, Turner remained unbeaten, ensuring the USA secured a morale-boosting draw following their setback against Colombia. The team now looks ahead to their Copa America opener against Bolivia on June 23, while Brazil starts their pursuit of tournament glory against Costa Rica two days later.
Brazil started the second half with momentum, and Rodrygo came close to scoring with a spectacular acrobatic attempt that cleared the crossbar. Vinicius continued to trouble the USA defense, with Turner denying him again from a tight angle. Endrick, his future teammate at Real Madrid, entered the game just after the hour mark but was thwarted by Turner, who was alert to the young striker's threat. Because of Brazil's dominance, the hosts struggled to assert themselves, though Pulisic almost changed the tide with a close-range strike that Alisson parried away. Turner continued his impressive performance with a superb one-handed save to deny Rodrygo once more.
Gregg Berhalter's second stint as USA head coach faced early scrutiny following a disappointing friendly loss to Colombia, dampening the optimism from their recent CONCACAF Nations League triumph. Described as a wake-up call by Berhalter, the team sought redemption as they hosted Brazil, starting positively with Yunas Musah hitting the bar early on and Christian Pulisic testing Alisson soon after. Despite the USA's energetic start, Brazil seized the lead in the 17th minute when Rodrygo capitalized on a defensive lapse by Matt Turner. Brazil pressed for a second goal, with Raphinha missing narrowly before Pulisic restored parity just before halftime with a well-placed free kick, exploiting a gap in Brazil's defensive wall.
90+6'
Vinicius wins a free kick on the left side for Brazil, and Perreira steps up to take it. Rather than crossing into the box, Perreira opts to strike the ball towards goal. However, his effort is directed straight at Turner, who punches the ball clear to maintain USA's defensive solidity.
90+4'
Martinelli drives down the left side towards the byline and delivers a cross into the box, aiming to find a teammate. However, Ream anticipates the pass well and clears the danger for the USA. With neither team able to break the deadlock, a draw appears increasingly likely as the match heads towards its conclusion.
90+2'
SAVE! Brazil continue to apply pressure as Perreira delivers a corner from the right side. Ream rises well to head the ball clear for the USA defense. Brazil regain possession and works the ball to Vinicius inside the left side of the box. However, Vinicius's shot lacks the necessary placement, allowing Turner to make a straightforward save to deny Brazil once again.
