Berhalter's side concluded their preparations for the tournament with an improved disp𒁃lay in Florida, having lost 5-1 to Colombia three days prior.
Ma𒁏ny feared the worst as Real Madrid's Rodrygo gave the visitors an early advantage, but Christian Pulisic's second half free-kick was enough to share the spoils, as Matt Turner made 11 saves in the contest, the mo🌺st by a USA keeper since Tim Howard in the 2014 World Cup.
"We asked for teamwork and intensity," Berhalter said. "The way we framed it is two thin🎃gs that are totally in their control. It doesn't matter about the opponent, it doesn't matter about the field, the fans or anything.
"That's the type of effort that we saw t🅺oday. The boys certainly did really well on that and that was good. We feel like we made a little step."
The USA kickstart t💦heir Copa America campaign on June 23 against Bolivia in Arlington, before taking on Panama and Uruguay in Group C.
Berhalter believes the result against♐ the five-time Worꦫld Cup winners is a little step on the way to being successful against the better teams on the international stage.
"It's not a huge step, but it's a little step to be able to play against an amazinglyꦛ talented Brazil team and bend but not break," Berhalter added.
"And give🍎 them problems as well, push them as well. So for us, looki♑ng at it, we think it's a good end to a preparation camp when we're ready for Copa."
