It was not easy, but the USWNT beat a very game Mexico side 1-0 to advance to the semifinal round of Olympic qualifying.
The United States Women's National Team needed a Carli Lloyd goal off a missed penalty to defeat Mexico 1-0 and advance to the semifinal round of Olympic qualifying on Saturday.
For the second straight game, a controversial decision from the referee -- this time a questionable handball call, -- awarded a penalty to Lloyd, giving her a chance to win the game. And it was a game in which the Yanks struggled to get quality looks at goal.
