  Tim Howard

  Made a great save to deny Damiao in 18th minute which was really his only one-on-one. Was let down by his defence for the other goals which he could have done little to stop.

  Carlos Bocanegra

  Struggled to deal with Damiao's pace and strength and the Brazilian regularly got the beating of him. His positioning was not the greatest as he offered too much space.

  Fabian Johnson

  Attacked well down the left and eventually found the final ball when he set up Gomez before the break. Continued to press and cause Danilo problems in the second half.

  Oguchi Onyewu

  Was unfortunate to give away an early penalty when the ball struck his arm. Remained strong at the back but was avoided by the Brazil players.

  Steven Cherundolo

  Had a torrid night as he struggled to contain both Neymar and Marcelo. Allowed the pair to get the better of him on numerous occasions in a sub-par performance.

  Jermaine Jones

  Screened his defence amicably for the large part but was reckless at times. He let Thiago Silva get away from him in the area to head in the second goal.

  J. Torres

  Fairly hesitant on the ball as Brazil closed the space down. He began to drop deeper and deeper to pick up the ball and offered very little higher up the pitch.

  Michael Bradley

  A typically combative display in the middle of the park from the Chievo man. Played a great pass to Johnson in the build-up to his side's goal and was the heartbeat of the side. Saw a header in the closing stages saved by Rafael.

  Maurice Edu

  Put in an energetic display and did his best to push the team forward despite the pressure from Brazil. Did his best to break up the play when the ball reached the final third.

  Hérculez Gómez

  Did his best to trouble the defenders with limited service in the first half and deserved his goal at the end of the first half. Could have added a second but his header was too weak and got cleared by Romulo.

  Landon Donovan

  After his hat-trick against Scotland at the weekend his performance was a huge disappointment. Kept quiet by Marcelo he struggled to influence the game. A skied effort in the first period was the closest he came.

  Clint Dempsey

  Struggled to galvanise the team as he came on shortly after the third goal. Could have scored a goal but for Romulo's goal-line clearance.

  Rafael

  Commanded the penalty area capably, getting a hand to the ball whenever needed and holding on to it. A terrific double-save and another reaction save in the dying moments capped a solid performance.

  Danilo

  Wasted no time in getting forward to contribute to the attack but he was caught out of position on the USA goal as Johnson got in behind. Lacked protection with Hulk playing ahead of him.

  Juan

  A competent performance at centre-back for the most part but he took his eye off Gomez and it lead to a goal. However, he made some strong challenges and looked far less nervy than against Denmark.

  Marcelo

  Kept Donovan quiet throughout and forced him to track back with his attacking runs, showing that he is certainly not a liability in defence. Got on the scoresheet and put in a great ball for Pato to add the fourth.

  Thiago Silva

  Another solid performance from the AC Milan defender. An uncompromising display at the back whilst also scoring his first international goal with a header.

  Oscar

  Picked up where he left off with his imperious display against Denmark. Oozed class as he knocked the ball about effortlessly but his tenacity won the ball which led to the early penalty.

  Rômulo

  It was a fairly quiet night in midfield for the Vasco man but he kept the game moving. Made some debatable tackles but his goal-line clearance to deny Dempsey a tap in was the highlight of his night.

  Sandro

  A composed performance as he showed extreme comfort on the ball. His pressing in the middle of the park created USA no end of trouble and he regularly broke apart the play.

  Hulk

  Often hugged the right wing but drifted in at times to create space for Danilo. He was strong on the ball but despite his danger he struggled to produce anything noteworthy after such a good display against Denmark.

  Leandro Damião

  The Internacional striker again struggled to make an impact. He had the beating of Bocanegra but he seemed out of sorts. Should have scored when one-on-one with Howard early on.

  Neymar

  A much more complete display from the Santos man. Scored the penalty but was fairly quiet for the rest of the half. Also managed to get two assists and will have been pleased with his showing once more.

  Alexandre Pato

  A lively cameo for the AC Milan striker as he hit the post within moments of coming on. He then went on to drill home a clinical finish in the closing stages to secure an emphatic win.
