The No. 1 women's soccer team in the world was back on the pitch Thursday night, taking down England 2-0 in their 2020 SheBelieves Cup opener in Orlando, Florida.

A three-minute span early in the second half was all the offense the Americans needed as Christen Press opened the scoring in the 53rd minute and Carli Lloyd netted one herself in the 55th minute.

Press delivered an absolute rocket from just outside the box while three defenders were within arm's reach. The forward curved the ball around all of them and England keeper Carly Telford to break open the scoring.
