USWNT cruises past Korea Republic in Emma Hayes' first match.
COMMERCE CITY, Colorado —The Emma Hayes era is off to a winning start after the United States women's national team cruised to a 4-0 victory vs. Korea Republic in a friendly on Saturday afternoon at Dicks Sporting Goods Park. There was a lot to see in Hayes' debut match on the American sideline: for one, both Mallory Swanson and Tierna Davidson scored a brace apiece in front of a sold out crowd of 19,010 fans.
Or more precisely, it was Swanson's first national team goal in 465 days. Swanson wasn't finished. In the 74th minute, already holding a 3-0 lead, Casey Krueber found Rose Lavelle in the buildup, who slipped the ball to a streaking Swanson. She took one touch and slotted home her second to clinch a 4-0 victory. Turning point When Davidson scored a brace, both headers off corner kicks. The first came in the 38th minute off a soaring cross by Macario.
