SAN DIEGO — The U.S. women's national soccer team will face Brazil in the final of the inaugural CONCACAF W Gold Cup Sunday at Snapdragon Stadium, seeking to complete its redemption from a recent upset loss to Mexico.
Brazil is among four guest teams from South America participating in what soccer's governing body for North America, Central America and the Caribbean calls its"flagship women's international competition." "Our matches with Brazil have always been entertaining to say the least, full of challenges," said Kilgore, who is coaching the team while Emma Hayes completes her contract with Chelsea FC of England's Women's Super League.
Brazil failed to advance past the group stage of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup while the U.S. was eliminated in the round of 16 on penalty kicks against Sweden, 5-4, after overtime ended 0-0. Morgan has two goals and an assist. She was not selected for the original 23-player roster but added Feb. 20, one day after forward Mia Fishel tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee during training.
