Welcome to the National Teams of the United States of America!
Becky Sauber and they're going to have to stay very organized and manage Brazil in transition
and deal with a very dangerous Marta.
Nicole Crafty, they're missing some key players, but number 21 Monica, she is really the only
experienced.
They'll throw numbers forward.
Out of the side, Tobin Heath, who turns the favor, right in front wide.
An immediate hand up to apologize for the young midfielder.
Marta takes the free kick, curling one up there, it's allowed to bounce, quick shot
there, and it's wide.
Here's Rapinoe, left side, cutting it back, a chance, saved by Letizia, robbing Julie
Ernst.
This is one of the beauties of having Julie.
Here's what we meant about committing to the attack.
Brazil on the board.
Did it go off, Davidson?
They had at least five players on the attack there.
I think it did, and this all started with Sonnet rotating hard into midfield, and she
got one-twoed down that left side.
U.S. trailing by a goal, she goes outside, beats Rayani, Rapinoe, saved by Letizia, she
swatted it away.
Up, done, done, saved again.
At least I thought so.
Letizia up, towards Morgan in the air, settled, Coran, went short, Lavelle!
One-one.
Welcome back, Ms. Rose Lavelle.
That left side, looking for Morgan, Rayani lost it, Lavelle!
She was going near post, sent it out of play.
And why not?
This is something that you haven't seen from the U.S. when Lavelle's not in the—
Here's Marta!
Up and over.
In behind her, Heath, waits, gets in line, played it up, wanted Rapinoe, then the goal
scored by Hertz.
2-1, U.S.
Well, Julio has talked about the importance of the U.S. using that advanced half space
coming into tonight's match against Brazil.
I don't know that they found it enough in the first half.
The second half, they're finding some joy in it.
It's Alex Morgan who checks off there, and then Tobin Heath running in behind.
Marta, step behind the defense.
Marta played it across!
Should have been a tie game.
It was right there off the foot of Marta.
Perfect pass in.
And I don't know if there's much Becky Sauer—
Well trapped by Heath.
Tobin Heath cracks it!
And Letizia, that ball was moving.
From the trap to the shot, that was pretty well done by—
Waits for help.
It's coming.
She overshot Horan.
Heath!
Goal!
U.S. leads 3-1.
Well, this game has really opened up, and the U.S. is the first.
Lindsey Horan's ball.
Maybe 24 yards away.
Rapinoe strikes!
Rapinoe.
Hits side netting.
Megan Crosman in!
Tapped home!
Alex Morgan!
And yet another assist for Rapinoe.
Those two linking up again, and she's wide open.
No one tracks her.
Standing so far in this tournament of nations,
Kelly O'Hara and Krystal Dunn,
as well as second start for right-back Taylor Smith.
One name always stands out.
The five-times World Player of the Year, Marta,
who scored Brazil in their famous—
Here's Andoretta working with Marta,
who got the always-taker attacking view of things.
And that's Andresinho!
And it's a mistake!
And that's in!
Neyer!
Terrible error!
And Andresinho has Brazil ahead within 70 seconds.
Oh, my goodness me.
And this is something they already were
considering themselves in a hole,
going to fight out of it,
having lost Australia the other night.
Then to put a team like Brazil
and give them a chance like this.
Just a total mistake by Neyer, and she—
That crossbar bouncing around dangerously.
Fire boot in there.
And the referee from Honduras is stepping in here.
Now, what is she going to give?
The ball was played.
Rapinoe might go for the roof of the net.
That's exactly what she tried to do.
This way to Rapinoe anyway.
Laid back.
And Mewes deflected it in!
USA are level.
It's a good hit, that, by Sam Mewes.
Her fifth international goal already.
And that feels better for the U.S.
And really, this is an opportunity that
the U.S. shouldn't even have.
It's misplayed by Brazil.
Rapinoe deciding, instead of taking her in line,
she's just going to pull back from Mewes.
And Mewes can crank these from out wide.
And why not?
Because you never know what's going to happen.
Just like—
It's fantastic to watch her skills.
It's not the worst ball.
And then she had a free kick.
And she just did as well.
This time the goalkeeper watched it well.
Got there in time.
Barbara did well with that.
Because look at her hands over her head.
That's hard to see.
Carried on with her run.
Morgan's done enough.
Needs to cut this back.
Oh, she needed to get her head up there, really.
And there's a handball given there.
But really, the U.S. should have made much, much more.
She's given Leticia twisted blood at times.
You know, it was a wonderful opportunity there.
Right under the crossbar.
With Mallory Pugh arriving.
Couldn't direct it into the back of the net.
And this is a Julie Ertz ball, by the way.
Into Rapinoe.
And she knows with—
Into the danger zone.
And a goal.
Brazil take the lead.
Two goals to one up.
Nobody, but nobody, was able to cut that out on the back post.
And the goal scorer is the defender, Bruno Benitez.
No post players for the United States.
So no one there to clean that off the line.
Unlikely goal scorer to get it forward.
Diaz-Amaretto.
Good effort.
Lewis getting it wide.
O'Hara to play it in and press!
With a wonderful chance.
Which she's put over the bar.
You get in these situations, and this is a better buildup.
Switch of play.
O'Hara wide open on that outside.
Cassandra Senior.
And that's three.
Two for her.
And the USA surely sunk here.
Twelve minutes left and Brazil 3-1.
Great free kick.
And from players who are pretty good usually at that.
Now then.
Press.
Lovely turn.
Oh, great press.
USA back in it.
That was a wonderful goal.
And what a beauty that is.
Press.
Lovely ball to Rapinoe.
And it's in!
Here's the equalizer post!
And the USA out of jail!
Megan Rapinoe with a strike!
Well, how about this?
Well, her performance has deserved a goal.
And again, the ball by Press.
Look at this first touch.
That is perfect.
Rapinoe plays this one in.
Lloyd's header.
Back to Rapinoe.
Kelly O'Hara.
Across the near post.
Bouncing around.
Scratch at home.
And the USA have from nowhere to lead 4-3.
Astonishing turnaround in San Diego.
How about that?
Her first one, number nine.
And it didn't come with her head.
It starts with Rapinoe finding O'Hara in.
And a beautiful whip ball.
They can just let the clock wind down here.
We're past the three minutes.
And that is it.
A quite remarkable comeback.
From the down after 79 minutes.
4-3 up after 90.
Wow.
And there's something to be said about that U.S.
