• Hefty Colombia defeat a 'wake-up call' for USA, claims Berhalter

  Gregg Berhalter shrugged off the suggestion the United States can take lessons from their 5-1 loss to Colombia, instead insisting the defeat must act as a "wake-up call".

  The USA were comprehensively dispatched by in-form Colombia at FedEx Field on Saturday, in a pre-Copa America friendly.

  The United States is hosting the 2024 Copa America, though Berhalter's team looked no match for one of South America's best sides as Jhon Arias, Rafael Santos Borre, Richard Rios, Jorge Carrascal and Luis Sinisterra got on the scoresheet in a rout, with those final three goals coming in the last 13 minutes, after Timothy Weah had pulled one back for the home side.

  Colombia became the fourth team to score five goals against the USA on American soil and the first since Mexico in 2009, while they were also the first team to score twice in the first 20 minutes against the Stars and Stripes on American soil since Saudi Arabia in October 1995 (11 minutes).

  The USA will face Uruguay, Panama and Bolivia in Group C at the Copa America, and Berhalter took few positives from the loss.

  "We're not framing it as a lesson learned. We're actually framing it as a wake-up call. Really poor performance against a top team," Berhalter said.

  "From the 75th minute on, it was I think a lack of respect for our opponent, the game of soccer and what we were doing.

  "There's some glaring things that you have to address if you're going to compete at this level. Guys just didn't do their job. It's about your role, your responsibility and we didn't do that.

  "We take responsibility as a coaching staff, for sure. We can't put this all on the players.

  "This game will help us understand that when we don't do the things we're supposed to do, we'll get hurt really quickly."

  Things do not get any easier for the USA, with a friendly against Brazil up next before the tournament starts.

  "Everyone needs to look in the mirror after that game and figure it out because, obviously, we weren't to the level that's required," goalkeeper Matt Turner told TNT Sports.

  "I'm going to apologise to the fans. That's not what we're about. And, yeah, we need to bounce back in a big way."

• Mexico 2-3 Brazil: Super-sub Endrick scores stoppage-time winner

  Endrick scored a 96th-minute winner as Brazil beat Mexico 3-2 in a thrilling pre-Copa America friendly.

  Brazil coach Dorival Junior named an experimental line-up for Saturday's clash in Texas, but it was one of his substitutes who struck the crucial blow for the Selecao.

  Endrick, who will link up with his new club Real Madrid after the Copa America, was the hero as he headed in brilliantly from a cross from Los Blancos star Vinicius Junior.

  It capped off a topsy-turvy game in which Brazil had surrendered a 2-0 lead.

  Andreas Pereira put them ahead after five minutes, before Gabriel Martinelli doubled their lead with a simple finish in the 54th minute.

  Yet Mexico, who were coming into the game on the back of a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Uruguay, looked set to snatch a draw when Julian Quinones and Guillermo Martinez dragged them level, with that second goal coming in the 92nd minute.

  But parity lasted only four minutes, with Vinicius and Endrick teaming up excellently for Brazil's winner, as the duo will hope to do for Madrid next season.

  Next up for Brazil is a friendly against the United States, before they kick off their Copa America campaign against Costa Rica.

  Data Debrief: A star is born

  Endrick became the youngest goalscorer in an international match at Wembley when he netted against England in March.

  And in 2024, the 17-year-old now has three goals in the space of 93 minutes for the Selecao. Indeed, Brazil's number nine has converted 50 per cent of his six shots in that time.

• Spain 5-1 Northern Ireland: Five-star La Roja round off Euro 2024 preparations with a flourish

  Spain were at their ruthless best as they swept aside Northern Ireland to conclude their Euro 2024 preparations with an emphatic 5-1 triumph. 

  Luis de la Fuente's side had put five goals past Andorra in their last outing, and repeated the trick in another fine performance on Saturday.

  That is despite finding themselves a goal behind after just 66 seconds in Mallorca when Dan Ballard headed in from Caolan Boyd-Munce's teasing delivery.

  But the visitors' joy was short-lived as two goals in six minutes courtesy of Pedri and Alvaro Morata saw normal service resume for the three-time European Champions. 

  The Barcelona midfielder netted his second of the evening after being picked out inside the area by Nico Williams to finish beyond Bailey Peacock-Farrell. 

  La Roja had their fourth shortly before the break as another La Masia graduate took centre stage – Lamine Yamal chipping the ball to Fabian Ruiz, who scored his second international goal. 

  Having scored a hat-trick in Spain's win over Andorra, Mikel Oyarzabal was on target again to cap off the rout, with teenager Yamal winning possession back in the final third before teeing up the Real Sociedad forward.

  Data Debrief: Rampant Spain show no mercy

  Spain have now lost just one of their last 27 home international fixtures (W22 D4), and are unbeaten in their last seven such games (W5 D1), netting 27 goals in that time.

  Northern Ireland's barren run against the Spaniards continues, and they are now winless in all 10 of their previous trips to Spain in all competitions, losing on each of their last six visits by an aggregate score of 3-19.

  It was a brilliant performance from Yamal, who has been directly involved in five goals in just seven senior appearances (four starts) for Spain (two goals, three assists). His club-mate Pedri, meanwhile, is the youngest player to score more than once in a match for Spain since Ferran Torres' hat-trick vs Germany in November 2020.
