Andreas Pereira went head-to-head with Fulham teammates Tim Ream and Antonee Robinson on Wednesday night, as Brazil and the United States played out a 1-1 draw in their final Copa América warm-ups.
After a strong start by the States in Orlando, Brazil took the lead courtesy of Rodrygo, only for the hosts to equalise soon after through Christian Pulisic’s free-kick.
There were opportunities at both ends thereafter, with Brazil edging the chances created, but the States defended resolutely to secure a confidence-boosting result going into Copa América, after a disappointing outing in their previous friendly against Colombia.
Ream and Robinson both played the full 90, while Andreas replaced Lucas Paqueta in the 65th minute to win a fifth cap for his country.
Depending on how the Group Stages go for the two nations, they could meet again as early as the Quarter-Finals at Copa América.
The United States’ campaign commences against Bolivia on Sunday 23rd June, while Brazil kick off theirs a day later when they face Costa Rica.
