The United States women's national team used three quick-fire goals early in the second half to roll to a 4-1 win over Mexico in Thursday's international friendly clash.
Mallory Pugh gave the U.S. an early lead, finishing off a Megan Rapinoe ball in the sixth minute to make it 1-0.
But Mexico was not to be easily overrun.
Despite consistent attacking pressure from the USA, the visiting side stayed organized and strong at the back throughout the rest of the first half and the game went to the break with the USWNT still holding a single-goal advantage.
