Ertz's Late Goal Lifts USWNT Over Spain in SheBelieves Cup

It took until the match's 87th minute for the USWNT to break through against Spain. But a late set-piece header scored by Julie Ertz gave the United States all the breathing room it needed to defeat Spain 1-0 in its second SheBelieves Cup contest.

Spain largely dominated the first 45 minutes of play, but was unable to break through in Sunday's 2019 World Cup round-of-16 rematch. Despite holding 60% of possession for the game, the Spaniards were unable to get on the score sheet.

Ertz's goal late in the contest came off a beautiful ball from USWNT forward Christen Press.
