United States 1 Brazil 4: Super starlet Neymar turns on the style in Maryland

Neymar scored one goal and set up two more as Brazil warmed up for the Olympics by thumping the United States 4-1 in a friendly at Maryland's FedEx Field. 
The Americans went into the game on the back of five straight wins but they were behind early on when Neymar slotted home a penalty after Oguchi Oneywu handled in the box.

Neymar then delivered the corner for Thiago Silva to head home before Herculez Gomez halved the deficit with a header on the stroke of half-time. 
Brazil keeper Rafael, making his debut, kept the Americans out with handful of fine saves after the break and breathed a sigh of relief when Oneywu's effort hit the crossbar. 
But Neymar, the 20-year-old Santos starlet, provided the pass for Marcelo to restore Brazil's two-goal cushion and substitute Alexandre Pato completed the rout three minutes from time.
