BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — Alex Morgan and Samantha Mewis scored and the United States rallied to beat Germany 2-1 on Wednesday night to win the SheBelieves Cup.
The World Cup champion Americans were 3-0-0 in the four-team event. Germany (2-1-0) finished second.
"You put two great teams on a small pitch, and the intensity was fantastic," U.S. coach Jill Ellis said. "This tournament was essential for us to continue to grow."
In front of 13,501 fans at FAU Stadium, Germany opened the scoring in the 29th minute when Anja Mittag beat goalkeeper Hope Solo with a low, hard shot to the left corner of the net.
