After Alex Morgan converted on a penalty in the 78th minute and the USWNT won the CONCACAF Women’s Championship, she took a page out of Steph Curry’s book.
The United States is now 33-0 in World Cup or Olympic qualifying matches since losing to Mexico 2-1 ahead of the 2011 World Cup.
The Canadians went on to win the gold medal on a penalty shootout with Sweden. The U.S. team finished with the bronze.Alyssa Naeher was in goal for the United States instead of Casey Murphy, who started the previous game at the tournament. Defender Emily Fox also returned to the lineup from COVID-19 protocol.
But the team has clearly benefitted from the steady veteran presence of Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and Becky Sauerbrunn. All three are veterans of two World Cup titles and know what it takes to perform on the big stage.Temperatures hovered in the low 90s at the start of the match at Estadio BBVA. Sheridan had a big save in the 31st minute when Pugh made a break down the right side and took a hard shot at the goal.
