REMEMBER THE NAME 🇺🇸 We’re witnessing the bright future of the @USWNT unravel before us, @sandiegowavefc’s Jaedyn Shaw! https://t.co/MdGB7VddYJ
3-0 #USWNT. Clinical. Jaedyn Shaw with the finish in first-half stoppage time. This is impressive stuff from the U.S. Another goal from a high regain.
absolutely elite from Jaedyn Shaw #uswnt
Incredible save by Alyssa Naeher. The reaction time needed there, the adjustment from moving the owther way...wow. This game turned about 8 minutes ago, no coincidence that timing aligned with Rodman calling for the trainer and USWNT heading to sidelines. Colombia is probing.
JENNA NIGHSWONGER TAKE A BOW 🇺🇸 The defender and NWSL Rookie of the Year scored this glorious left footed finish, her second @USWNT goal in just her fifth cap, to put the US 2-0 up against Colombia in the W Gold Cup quarterfinal. 🫶https://t.co/JNxYNncWsR
Great pressure from Alex Morgan, who then earns the penalty. Lindsey Horan buries the kick to give the #USWNT a 1-0 lead in the 13th minute after shenanigans from Colombia to delay the kick. Much better tempo from the U.S. to start this match.
#USWNT lineup is in to face Colombia: Shaw, Albert, Coffey, Nighswonger all start, a nod of confidence in some young/less experienced players. The Girma-Davidson centerback combination is back after clearly looking like the best option for setting play in the group stage. https://t.co/2sbWThhCx5
