Harrison, NEW JERSEY (Reuters) - The United States defeated Spain 1-0 in a hard-fought battle in front of a sold-out crowd at Red Bull Arena on Sunday, with a late-game header into the net by Julie Ertz sealing the match on the second leg of the SheBelieves Cup tournament.
Spain put up perhaps the biggest challenge the U.S. has faced so far since head coach Vlatko Andonovski took the reins in October, nearly scoring in the 24th minute on a ball that hit the crossbar and keeping U.S. tender Alyssa Naeher on her toes with an aggressive offensive performance.
"They’re a great team, they’re really cohesive, they’re bought into what they do, I’ve nothing but great things to say about the way that they play," Ertz told reporters. "We knew they’re good, we knew they’re technical," he said."We saw at times how dangerous they can be."
