The Brazil captain started among the substitutes but Hulk rose to the occasion, following up his winner in Saturday's 1-0 friendly victory over Costa Rica by lashing home inside the opening 10 minutes.
Brazil soon settled into a counter-attacking rhythm, using the pace of Willian and Douglas Costa to stretch the US defence effectively.
Neymar, who will miss Brazil's opening two World Cup 2018 qualifiers through suspension, only entered the fray for the second half but had an immediate impact, winning a penalty that he converted within six minutes of the restart.
Shortly after the hour-mark, Rafinha netted his first international goal and Neymar quickly followed up with his second to take his Brazil tally to 46, before Danny Williams scored a consolation for USA.
