The defending World Cup champions closed out their 2019 Send-Off Series by defeating CONCACAF opponent Mexico 3-0 at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey on Sunday. It only took ten minutes for the United States Women’s National Team to get on the scoreboard when Tobin Heath was gifted with an opportunity by miscommunication between the Mexican defense. She made no mistake.
The lone goal would be all for the first half, in part due to some incredible saves by goalkeeper Cecilia Santiago to keep the Americans out. But like in games past, Jill Ellis used her substitutes to her advantage.
