During the FIFA international window, the United States faced Korea in Colorado. The American team lined up with a strong formation, ready to dominate the match.
The United States opened the scoring with a brilliant combination play involving Emily Grima, Sophia Smith, and Mallory Swanson, who netted the first goal of the night.
The second goal came from a perfectly executed corner kick. Tierna Davidson connected with a powerful header, outsmarting the goalkeeper and making it 2-0.
With a comfortable 2-0 lead at halftime, the United States continued their aggressive approach in the second half.
Just two minutes in, a corner kick by Mallory Swanson once again found Tierna Davidson, who scored her second header of the afternoon and the team's third goal. Korea struggled to counter this effective set-piece strategy, unable to adapt to the play that had undone them twice.
Despite making several changes, the American team maintained their relentless attacking approach. Their efforts paid off with a fourth goal, expertly finished by Mallory Swanson. The Chicago Red Stars forward demonstrated exceptional composure and skill in front of goal.
The United States proved far superior to their rival throughout the match.
Next Tuesday, they will have another game. Let's see if we are going to see new starters
