In a Copa America warmup friendly, Real Madrid’s Rodrygo showcased his attacking prowess by scoring Brazil’s only goal in a 1-1 draw against the USMNT. Despite his impressive performance, the Selecao struggled to find their rhythm, with a lack of incisive attacking edge evident when Endrick was on the bench.
The USMNT had an early opportunity with Yunus Musah hitting the bar within five minutes. Rodrygo then capitalized on a defensive lapse to open the scoring, but Christian Pulisic equalized with a stunning free-kick. Brazil pushed for a winner in the second half, with Rodrygo and Endrick coming close to scoring.
Despite dominating possession and creating chances, Brazil failed to break through the USMNT defense, settling for a draw in their final warmup match before the Copa America. Rodrygo’s standout performance was a bright spot in an otherwise lackluster showing from the Selecao.
