Sophia Smith scores in the 64th minute to lift the U.S. women's national team to a 1-0 victory over Mexico in an international friendly.
Sophia Smith scored in the 64th minute and the United States got revenge for a loss to Mexico earlier this year with a 1-0 victory in the rematch on Saturday. The friendly match at Red Bull Arena was the first of two tuneup games for the United States ahead of the Paris Olympics. The Americans will play Costa Rica on Tuesday at Audi Field in Washington before departing for France. Mexico beat the United States for just the second time ever at the CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup in late February.
But in the second half, Trinity Rodman passed to Mallory Swanson, who appeared ready to shoot but instead dished the ball to Smith for her 20th career goal. Smith nearly got a second goal in the 73rd but her attempt hit the near post. The United States has not conceded a goal in three matches under new coach Emma Hayes. The game celebrated the 25th anniversary of the “The 99ers,” the team that won the 1999 Women's World Cup at the Rose Bowl.
