USA v Brazil: Neymar & Roberto Firmino on target, Richarlison makes debut
- From the section Football
Neymar and Roberto Firmino scored as a strong Brazil side coasted past a youthful USA in a friendly match.
Firmino gave the Selecao the lead in New Jersey after 11 minutes, the Liverpool forward finishing a low Douglas Costa cross from close range.
Paris St-Germain striker Neymar doubled the lead from the penalty spot after Fabinho was judged to have been fouled in the box.
Neymar's goal was his 58th in 91 games for his country.
Brazil coach Tite gave an international debut to Everton forward Richarlison, who came on as a second-half substitute.
Elsewhere, two goals from Barcelona's Luis Suarez helped Uruguay to a 4-1 win over Mexico in Houston, Chara's 90th minute goal saw Colombia defeat Venezuela 2-1 in Miami and Ecuador beat Jamaica 2-0 in a match that was also staged in New Jersey.
Finally, an Argentina side without Lionel Messi easily beat Guatemala 3-0 in Los Angeles in their first game since losing 4-3 to France at the World Cup.
