Lady Yanks can’t get past herculean German side, lose third-in-a-row, 2-1 in Florida

Two FIFA giants went head-to-head last night at North Fort Lauderdale’s intimate DRV PNK Stadium in a match that was billed as a not so friendly, friendly.

Over sixteen thousand football fans were on hand to watch FIFA’S No. 1 ranked United States Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT) take on their counterparts from Germany who rank third in the FIFA standings.

From the first whistle to the last in stoppage time the two juggernauts raced up and down the pristine pitch, and so, straight at each other and their opposing goals.

The Lady Yanks launched 18 shots, including header attempts by Lindsey Horan and Taylor Kornieck, and shots by the fleet-footed duo of Sophia Smith and Mallory Pugh.
