U.S. 20 Women’s

National Team vs. Brazil


2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup

By Dave Surico

MOUNT PROSPECT, Aug. 5  -- The U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team will look to bounce back from a 2-0 opening-game loss to Germany on Monday when it faces Brazil in its second Group B match on Aug. 8 at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. Kickoff is at 10 p.m. ET (8 p.m. local) and the match will be broadcast on ESPNU and WatchESPN. The USA will then have three days of rest – including a travel day to Moncton in the far east of Canada – before finishing group play against China PR on Aug. 12 (5 p.m. local/4 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and WatchESPN). After falling to Germany in a hard-fought, end-to-end match in which the USA fired 16 shots on goal, the clash with Brazil will be a crucial one for the young U.S. squad, which must pick up points to advance out of the group.

GROUP B SUMMARY: The USA’s 2-0 loss to Germany lost a bit of the sting as the other Group B match between Brazil and China PR ended in a 1-1 draw. Brazil took the lead in the 66th minute through Byanca, but China stole an equalizer in the 89th minute through Zhang Zhu. While the USA currently sits at the bottom of Group B, a victory against Brazil combined with a Germany win against China would put the U.S. in a positive position to advance to the quarterfinal round.
