The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) secured a historic 1-1 draw against Brazil in Orlando. Christian Pulisic scored a sensational free kick in the 26th minute to equalize the match after Rodrygo had put Brazil ahead. This result marks the first time the USMNT has drawn against Brazil, having lost 18 of their previous 19 encounters. Pulisic's goal, driven to the near post, made him the first player to score a free kick on Brazil since Luis Suárez in 2021. The match saw impressive performances from both goalkeepers, with Alisson making crucial saves to deny Pulisic a potential winner and Matt Turner making key stops for the USMNT. The draw follows a significant improvement from the USMNT's 5-1 loss to Colombia, providing momentum as they prepare for the Copa America.
