The USMNT’s 1-1 draw with Brazil was a recalibration that brightened the outlook entering Copa América, which kicks off next week.
Matt Turner, who made a career-high 11 saves, attempts to stop Brazilian forward Rodrygo during friendly in Orlando. this past Saturday that raised doubts; it was the effort and errors by a group that, even when outmanned on the global stage, almost always displayed bravery and grit.
Captain Christian Pulisic, the goal scorer against Brazil, said: “It was time to hold each other accountable. It was time to step up in a big moment in a big game.” Turner recovered from a subpar performance against Colombia by making a career-high 11 saves. Berhalter would have been justified in replacing him with Ethan Horvath on Wednesday. But because Turner is his top choice and needs playing time after a backup role at Premier League club Nottingham Forest this season, Berhalter stuck with him.After a weak clearance led to Brazil’s goal, Turner’s shot-stopping was a showstopper.
