AmeriCup 2011: Day 2

Brazil trounced Ecuador 5-0, with Rodrigo Santos getting two and headers from Hugo and Alexsandro.

But teenage whiz-kid Neylon scored the goal of the day with a 20-yard curler past Ecuadorian keeper Diego Suarez.

In the day's afternoon match, Peru avoided a potentially embarrassing draw with Canada when Ramón Páez struck in the last minute for a 1-0 victory.
