The U.S. women's national team faced its first real adversity test of the 2023 World Cup against the Netherlands. They're facing their next opponent, Portugal, on Tuesday.
Let's look at three key players for each team that could prove decisive:: The USWNT's midfield had its share of struggles against the Dutch, though things improved in the second half. Horan was the key piece, as apart from her goal, she won her ground and aerial duels at a high rate and kept play ticking from the left center-mid role. She'll need to keep at it on Tuesday.
Telma Encarnacao: Like Nazareth, Encarnacao came off the bench against the Netherlands but started against Vietnam. The 21-year-old forward was all over the final third, logging a goal and an assist in 75 minutes. She also managed three key passes and could've scored more had she not missed three big chances. If they get the chance against the U.S. defense, their young legs could be tough to track.
