Lucas Paquetá in action for Brazil against USA

Paquetá helps Brazil to USA draw

Lucas Paquetá and Brazil completed their preparations for the upcoming 2024 Copa América with a 1-1 draw with the United States of America on Wednesday.

West Ham United midfielder Paquetá started in Brazil's engine room for the friendly clash in Orlando, Florida, earning his 46th senior international cap.

Brazil took a 17th minute lead, as Real Madrid's Rodrygo finished off Raphinha's assist, but the hosts hit back swiftly, as AC Milan and former Chelsea man Christian Pulisic levelled within nine minutes.

Paquetá played 65 minutes at Camping World Stadium, with his side now on the hunt for a tenth continental title.

Their tournament campaign begins on Monday 24 June, when they take on Costa Rica in Los Angeles.

Further Group D fixtures will follow on Friday 28 June against Paraguay in Las Vegas, and on Tuesday 2 July against Colombia in San Francisco.
