After a 0-0 draw against Colombia in the first friendly, the USWNT showed out in Sunday’s match, winning 3-0. With goals from Mia Fishel, Lindsay Horan, and Jaedyn Shaw, the USWNT had much more energy with a higher press.
The young players shined in their match. At one point, the front line’s average age was younger than 21. 19-year-old Jaedyn Shaw’s goal was particularly impressive as she was assisted by 18-year-old Alyssa Thompson, making this the first time two teenagers combined for a goal since 2001
