USWNT Takes Home SheBelieves Cup After 3-1 Victory Over Japan

The USWNT won the 2020 SheBelieves Cup on Wednesday night after defeating Japan, 3-1.

The victory capped an undefeated three-game tournament for the United States.

Megan Rapinoe opened the scoring just seven minutes into the game, converting a free kick opportunity.

Christen Press doubled the USWNT's lead just under 20 minutes later when she floated a beautiful shot from just outside the penalty area into the left corner of the goal.

The Americans took a 2-0 lead into halftime and added an 83rd minute goal from Lindsey Horan to stretch their advantage to three.

The defending World Cup champions conceded just a single goal across its three SheBelieves Cup victories over England, Spain and Japan.
