the US The national women’s national team now has an opportunity to win another cup this week. The Americans hit Australia 2-1 on goals from Lin Penindolo (Previous Williams) and Michelle CooperAnd it will happen now Japan in Chipvis Cup The final confrontation on Wednesday.
Uswnt seems to have been closed so far Michel Heyman Go home Haile Rasu Crossing in the 80th minute. He was the goalkeeper Mandy McGlin From the second ever for the United States, it was tested by Matildas throughout the day. The Americans tried to extend their progress in late opportunities Corbyn Albert And ally Sentnor, but it failed to finish these and fled with W anyway.
Meanwhile, Japan wandered in this tournament, crushed Australia 4-0 in its first match last Thursday, and then defeated Colombia 4-1 earlier on Sunday afternoon.
As expected, coach Emma Hayes launched a completely different assortment. There were 11 changes from the group that started winning 2-0 on Thursday over Colombia, which is the sixth time in the history of the program that changed the squad for each beginning in successive games. According to American football, this is the first time that this has happened in 25 years.
Of course, this was not surprising due to Hayes’s desire to give more young players as it continues to expand and evaluate the pool before the next World Cup in 2027.
This was a young group and inexperienced. Another first appearance, this time by 19 -year -old midfielder Claire Hutton, who believes Hayes “can have a great future for the national team.” The sisters Alyssa and Jesail Thompson created their first start together (Giselle got her first cover against Colombia). It is only the fourth time in the history of Uswnt that the sisters started in the match together and the first time since July 2021 when Sam and Christie Mius They were in the squad against Mexico.
Below is fast food from the match:
Play the game:
In the 68th minute, Cooper scored only in its second hat to give USWnt 2-0. Hutton collected the ball near the upper part of the box and serve a low pass to the Sentnor inside. I wandered in many defenders to manipulate a little, when I entered Cooper and converted to the shot at the back of the network when it ended up the goal of the match.
“I looked at an ally and said,” I am very sorry! “Because I stole it mainly,” Cooper joked after the match.
turning point:
It took just 42 seconds for Bindulo to register and give USWnt 1-0.
Emma Cers recorded the bottom of the left wing and cut off before finding it Jidin Show Who was running behind. Show took a few touches before sliding a cross to Pinindolo waiting for the target. There was some belief that Biyendolo might have been sneaking, but there was no VAR in the Shebelieove Cup, so the goal was stopped.
Pinindolo had another goal after eight minutes, but it ruled to infiltrate.
This was also her first goal in USWnt using her married name – she married her husband Marley, from Australia, in December.

Another example of how Hayez is preparing more experienced players:
What is the following for USWnt?
The United States is heading to San Diego to play Japan in the Chilves Cup final on Wednesday, February 26.
The last time these parties met in the quarter -finals of the Paris Olympics last summer. This is when Trinity Rodman She showed her individual brilliance by scoring the winning goal at an additional time to secure the USWnt location in the semi -finals. The only thing is that Rodman is not in the list because it is still recovering from an injury before the NWSL season. But as we learned through two games, Hayes gives more players an experience even when Rodman and the rest of the “Espresso Triple” are not available, there are still strong options on hand.
However, Americans are well aware of what Japan’s confrontation means that their opponent will be in a well -organized low mass that is always difficult to break. This will be a test for this group of players, many of whom were not in the Olympic Games and did not play against the Great Japan team.
