U.S. soccer rally nips Brazil, 4-3

SAN DIEGO — Julie Ertz came in off the bench and scored in the 89th minute and the United States overcame a late two-goal deficit to beat Brazil 4-3 on Sunday night in the Tournament of Nations.

The United States was in danger of losing for the fourth time this year before the three-goal flurry in about nine minutes.

Two minutes after Brazil’s Andressinha scored on a free kick in the 78th minute for her second goal of the game, Christen Press countered to make it 3-2 with her 43rd career goal.

Press fed Megan Rapinoe for a running blast that tied it in the 85th minute, and Ertz put the U.S. ahead four minutes later.
