Brazil vs USA 1-1

Looking for an upturning fortune against one of the elite national sides of the world. Brazil are a powerhouse. It will be a tough prospect today. Seyed Martinez of Honduras is your referee. Also from Honduras, the two assistants, Walter Lopez and Christian Ramirez. We have Vic Pachetar, Jair Gomez, Wendell Danilo. Danilo, who is back in the side of Juventus. And we're off and we're underway. The feet of Pulisic. And a shot for distance, which rattles the underside of the bar. Well, it took everybody by surprise. Not least of all, Alisson. And it was quite some hit. Attacking from the left. Pulisic with the shots. Another stinging effort this time. Alisson was an opening of their own. And they do get an opening of their own. And it was a decent opportunity as well. The edge of the box. Weir will chase. Alisson usually pretty good with his feet. But he's forced into an error there. Puts the ball out. Stalls. But then wins it back. There was a shirt pull. There you go. The preserved defence comes inside. Weir. It's left-footed. This is less a shot. Less a foot, I should say. Not like that. The next thing you need is a game as soon as possible after it. Reina has been caught. And a yellow card is shown. Won back well by Brazil. Straight down the middle. Rodrigo. Shot comes in. Far side. He's had to be on his toes. Mendel against Timothy. His clearance hasn't gone very far at all. And this is a big chance. And he's not going to stop that one. Simple finish from Rodrigo. And Brazil have their noses in front. We will have to apportion some of the blame to Matt Turner. Because his clearance handed the ball back on a plate to Brazil. Won back in the midfield by Guimarães. Rodrigo receiving the pass from Rafinha. Took it in his stride. His first touch with the right foot was great. He's finished with the left by Marquinhos. There's Weir. Smart. Rafinha. If he could have kept that down, that would have been quite... Committed. Vinicius Junior. He's going to have to beat the goalkeeper a second time. And this time, Matt Turner. To the edge of the box. This is Pepe. Went for the shot. And the referee's giving a free kick right on the line. Pepe's claiming that he was brought down outside the area. Brazil have got their own arguments for the decision. Brazil have a wall. USA have a wall. Pulisic has a shot. And that is 1-0. You can argue deep into the night as to whether or not it was a free kick. But USA are back in it. And it's their go-to man. Their skipper. The man with the armband. Christian Pulisic with his 29th goal for his country. Charge from him. Miss. Misses. He's given the ball away. Pulisic. Good ball in. Just too high. And where? Cross eventually does come in. Rodrigo. That's a great ball. Chance. And again. Long, high ball. Milo. Nice again. Tries to thread it through. Milo's cross. With the touch. And the referee says that will do for now. And a half-time whistle blows. Christian Pulisic. He needs to be on his way. That right-back position his own. Joe Scott. Looked like a push in the back on. To Vinicius Junior. And then the shots. Ripples the net from Lendl. Rodrigo again. Vinicius Junior pulls it back. Liga. Title race in Portugal. Free kick is given. And a yellow card. A case of was he offside or is it a case? He was the last man. And yellow should be red. Haven't had any clear. By VAR. Hooked towards goal. And that could have gone absolutely anywhere from Rodrigo. And he was leaning back slightly. And he hooked it just off target. Vinicius Junior. Rafinha. Overlap to Danilo. Punched away by the goalkeeper. And it comes back out again. Cancelled out by Pulisic's free kick. It's a torment. Off he goes. And this is where he's so very, very good. He comes again. Great ball. Rising high was Lucas Barraldo. But he couldn't get. A full. Bears cross. It was a good ball in as well. And off. Cobrasil again. And the follow-up from Rodrigo. Denied. Thwarted by Matt Turner. He smothered it. He's done well. Finds McKinney again. That's brilliant play. Oh, super save. He looked at goal all the way. For Christian Pulisic. Back inside. Here he is again. The young. Vinicius Junior. He's more central. Since Pulisic. Rodrigo down the left-hand side. Still Rodrigo. Great save by Matt Turner. Pours it away with his strong left glove. Ball in. 2-8. Driven forward. In close proximity. Dealing with him. Aronson. That's a foul. Just a little overzealous.
