For the second time in four days, the USWNT is set to face Portugal on Sunday. This game comes just a few days after a surprising 2-1 to the Portuguese on Thursday to open a three-game international window for Emma Hayes’ team.
Thursday’s game got off to a good start for the Americans. Rose Lavelle scored, albeit from what appeared to be an offside position, just 33 seconds into the match. However, that turned out to be one of the few highlights for the U.S. Portugal scored twice, with both goals coming off set-piece opportunities, to turn things around and earn a 2-1 win.
