USA 0-2 Brazil: Neymar & Firmino find the net as Arthur makes his international debut
Brazil ease past USA in friendly as Neymar & Firmino find the net. Goal! Brazil have got their heads in front thanks to a Roberto Firmino strike. Douglas Costa with an assist there.
Brazil are going well in East Rutherford. They now lead 0-2 thanks to a Neymar penalty. Brazil opened the scoring just 11 minutes in, as Douglas Costa played a beautiful cross that was tapped in by Roberto Firmino. The visitors had a chance to double their lead in the 39th minute, but a save from Zack Steffen and some nervy-if-successful defending from the USMNT kept the Brazilians from tallying again.
But the home side wasn't as fortunate a few minutes later, as Fabinho drew a penalty from Wil Trapp while he slalomed into the box. Neymar converted the subsequent spot kick to make it 2-0 before halftime.
After the break, the US needed to rely on emergency defending again, as Neymar's stinging shot off a back-post run was partially blocked by Steffen, before Matt Miazga cleared the bouncing ball off the line.
And while the Americans managed a few weak shots, their best looks in attack came on set pieces, but despite a few near misses they couldn't find the breakthrough to get on the board.
