Daily News | Sophia Smith, Rose Lavelle lead U.S. women’s soccer team to 3-0 win over Colombia
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — The U.S. women’s soccer team beat Colombia, 3-0, on Saturday night in the first of a two-game series that serves as the final tuneups for next month’s World Cup and Olympic qualifying tournament.
Murphy had little work to do, as Colombia had just one shot. All she had to do was take care of a few passes back to her.For example, a 21st-minute play where left back Emily Fox charged halfway up the field, then passed to Hatch in the middle of the 18-yard box. Hatch could have shot, but instead played the ball back toward Fox, and it went astray in traffic.
When Lavelle put that shot wide, Alex Morgan applauded the effort as she stretched and jogged. It was deserved encouragement, but she knew she might replace Hatch at halftime — and she did. In addition, Ashley Sanchez replaced Horan, an even clearer sign that U.S. manager Vlatko Andonovski didn’t like what he had seen.
Now the U.S. was in its customary position. But there were still frustrations, including another penalty kick save by Perez — this time on Lavelle in the 70th.
