Christian Pulisic Scores for Team USA
On June 12, 2024, the United States Men's National Team faced Brazil in an international friendly match at the Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The match ended in a thrilling 1-1 draw, with Christian Pulisic scoring the equalizing goal for the USA in the first half.
The match started brightly for Brazil, with the South American giants dominating possession and creating several scoring chances. However, the USA defense held firm, and goalkeeper Zack Steffen made a number of key saves to keep his side in the game.
The USA's best chance of the first half came in the 26th minute when Pulisic was fouled just outside the Brazil penalty area. The Chelsea midfielder stepped up and curled a stunning free kick into the top corner of the net, leaving Brazil goalkeeper Alisson Becker with no chance.
Brazil responded well to going behind and continued to press for an equalizer. They were rewarded in the 55th minute when Richarlison headed home a cross from Casemiro. The goal was a testament to Brazil's attacking quality and gave them a deserved point on the night.
Both teams continued to search for a winner in the second half, but neither side could find a breakthrough. The USA had a late chance to win the game when Gio Reyna found himself through on goal, but his shot was saved by Alisson Becker.
The 1-1 draw was a fair result in the end, with both teams showing their quality in patches. The USA will be pleased to have earned a draw against one of the world's top teams, while Brazil will be disappointed not to have won the match.
