The last time USA beat Brazil in soccer was in the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in 1989.Thomas Rongen called his side’s 2-1 victory at the FIFA U-20 World Cup a “huge” moment for U.S. soccer.Altidore opened the scoring for USA.Brazil equalised through Leandro Lima and it was Altidore again who got the winner.Plenty of breathtaking saves and near misses included in the highlights below.Take a look
Brazil has won the U 20 world cup four times and have been among the final eight in every other version of the tournament ( except in 1979 – when they did not participate) This is the 16th U 20 world cup and their proud record could be at an end because they are in danger of being eliminated.The 2-1 defeat left Brazil third after the completion of group D, and and they now have to rely upon other results to sneak into the second round.

The senior side beat Brazil in the 1998 Gold Cup, with Preki scoring the goal.
do you have a link to the adu move that lead to the 2nd goal? the video above starts just after he made his move. i didnt get a good look at it live either. somehow, he got by those two players in the corner by flicking it over/thru them.
