Alex Morgan scores twice, Carli Lloyd scores 99th career U.S. goal in 4-1 win over Mexico

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Alex Morgan scored twice and the U.S. women’s national team got three goals in the space of four minutes early in the second half to beat Mexico 4-1 on Thursday night in the first of two exhibition matches between the teams.

Morgan’s first goal came on a penalty kick a minute into the second half to put the United States up 2-0.

She added another goal shortly thereafter with a shot that bounced off the far post and into the goal.

Really nice placement from Alex Morgan on this goal – taken from a wide angle too.
