In its last match, the United States women's national team needed three goals in the final 10 minutes to beat Brazil. No such heroics were required Thursday night when the USWNT closed the 2017 Tournament of Nations with a 3-0 win over Japan in StubHub Center in Carson, California.
Megan Rapinoe got the U.S. on the board in the 12th minute, and Mallory Pugh and Alex Morgan scored in the second half.
The United States finished the Tournament of Nations in second place behind Australia, which won all three of its matches, capping off the event with a 6-1 demolition of Brazil on Thursday.
