It's now two wins in two for the United States women's national team in the SheBelieves Cup 2023.
The major difference, however, was Japan's lack of a clinical finish. Both teams had two shots on target, with Swanson's transition goal proving to be the difference. Japan's second shot on target came in injury time just before the final whistle, but U.S. goalie Casey Murphy made a brilliant save to maintain the lead.
Now the U.S. must await the result between Brazil and Canada. Since Brazil beat Japan 1-0 in its opener, Japan is no longer in contention to win the SheBelieves Cup. With a win against Canada, Brazil would make it all to play for on Wednesday when it faces the U.S. in the tournament finale. A draw would mean Brazil would need to beat the U.S. to overcome the point difference. Canada can only afford a win against Brazil to stay in the hunt for the trophy.
