The US men's national team is a work in progress, a match that is not up to the experienced Brazilian team.
The Americans have officially launched a new cycle that began several months ago with a 2-0 loss to Brazil at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey on Friday night. Roberto Firmino's goal in the 11th minute and Neymar's penalty kick at the end of the first half was all the Seleção needed, and Douglas Costa was a constant thorn in his 60 minutes on the pitch. young American team turning the page.
With the end of the 2018 World Cup, the road to 2022 will begin with the schedule of the international meetings in September, but the United States could not qualify for Russia. As such, a young core continues to form the core of the team with interim coach Dave Sarachan, whose time with the team is likely to increase.
This team allowed Brazil to possess the first whistle and play a high pressure at the start, which created problems for Neymar from the start. He went to Matt Miazga in the US box, but he followed little Wil Trapp who put a foot on the ball while Neymar reduced his chance to prevent an opportunity on the second minute.
Brazil did not take much longer to get on the board. Costa burned Antonee Robinson's back with his rhythm and then served a delightful center at the far post, where Firmino managed to score the goal.
Costa was again in the 31st minute, beating Robinson 1-v-1 before delivering a dangerous cross for Neymar. He never reached his target, but this is another example of the winger of Juventus who has applied his will with ease.
The first moment of danger from the United States came a moment later after a combination of midfielders Weston McKennie, Trapp and Tyler Adams. McKennie hit a volley in the center of the box that was blocked.
The next corner kick, John Brooks had a clear head that he could not steer on the frame.
A few minutes later, while the United States feels good, Brooks still caused problems in a turn, the ball eventually sneaking to McKennie. A slippery Casemiro and Alison rushes with the block to prevent equalization.
Brazil responded with a dangerous spell in the 38th minute. Zack Steffen was called for the first time to make a big saving on a Fabinho shot after Neymar and Coutinho combined on the left side to put the American defense on his back foot.
Brazil doubled its lead somewhat controversially in the 43rd minute. Trapp was whistled for a penalty after it appeared that there had been little contact, if any, with Fabinho's being cut into the American box. The call stopped, however, and Neymar won the match for his 58th career international goal. C & # 39; was in the same stadium against the United States where Neymar, eight years ago, landed his first senior position and scored the first international goal of his career.
The head nearly became 3-0 in the 52nd minute of another sequence launched by Costa. He picked up a ball and then passed a perfect diagonal to a streaked Neymar, whose shot from the left was saved by Steffen. The rebound sank towards the goal line, but Miazga jumped off the starting line.
The best chances of the United States of the evening came to fruition and the Americans threatened again in the 65th minute. Kellyn Acosta, off the bench as a substitute, ran into a dangerous free kick behind the back line of Brazil, where McKennie was the first to meet him. However, he turned his first chance at the goal, postponing the opportunity.
Six minutes later, Trapp forced Alisson to dive after a long defeat after Tim Weah, also out of the bench as a substitute, gave him the opportunity to cut from the left.
Brazil saw the result of its result, improving to 18-1-0 against the United States, with the only loss coming 20 years ago.
