Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gianluca Busio led the United States U-17 Men’s National Team to a 1-1 draw against Brazil on Sunday, scoring a goal in the final match of the 2018 Nike International Friendlies at the Premier Sports Complex in Lakewood Ranch, Florida.
Busio’s strike—his second for the U.S. at the U-17 level—came in first-half stoppage time when he volleyed home a Giovani Reyna cross from close range. The 16-year-old Sporting KC Academy product played the full 90 minutes as the Americans conceded a late equalizer and closed the prestigious youth tournament with a second-place finish behind Portugal.
