The U.S. and Canadian Women’s National Teams both defeated opponents at International Friendlies today. URFC stars Becky Sauerbrunn and Christen Press represented team USA in its second match of the 2019 season, while Desiree Scott featured for Canada in its first match of 2019 against Norway.
After coming off a 3-1 loss against France on Saturday, the USWNT played for the first time in and against Spain. Sauerbrunn started on the backline for team USA and Press checked into the match at the start of the second half.
The first half was scoreless, but Press came off the bench and scored in the 53rd minute springing away on a counterattack and directed shot to the far post.
