USWNT's lapses lead to their 71-game home unbeaten streak being snapped in loss to Germany

The United States women's national team lost 2-1 to Germany on Thursday night for their first three-game skid since 1993 and first home defeat in more than five years.

Paula Krumbiegel scored the decisive goal in the 89th minute for third-ranked Germany in the exhibition at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Megan Rapinoe scored in the 85th minute for the top-ranked Americans, who had been unbeaten in 71 straight games at U.S. soil.

It also marked the third straight loss for Vlatko Andonovski's side against European sides. The U.S. lost at England and Spain last month.
