The United States women's national team almost blew a chance to win the SheBelieves Cup for the fifth straight time. Alyssa Naeher made sure that didn't happen.
The USWNT goalkeeper made three saves in the penalty shootout and scored one herself, helping the Americans preserve a 2-2 win (5-4 in penalties) and secure a seventh SheBelieves Cup title.
It appeared that Sophia Smith was going to be the hero on the night, notching a brace that gave the Americans a 2-1 lead.
But Adriana Leon—who had both goals for Canada—scored the equalizer from the spot in the 85th minute, setting the stage for penalties.
