Crystal Dunn scored a goal for the US Women's National Team (USWNT) in her first start as a forward since 2017. The goal, assisted by Nighswonger, came 13 minutes into the match, following a spin-turn by Morgan that created the transition. This marks Dunn's first goal for the USWNT since 2018. The match is being broadcast live on TNT, TruTv, and Max. Additionally, Casey Murphy made a notable save during the game, with Ji being the opposing player. Emma Hayes has been credited as a tactical genius for playing Dunn in her natural position.
What a save by Casey Murphy. We have the same vantage point as Ji and Murphy had to wait to see that clear the wall. Well done. #USWNT
