Interim manager Twila Kilgore led the United States Women’s National Team to a 3-0 victory over China at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. While the unbeaten streak extends to five matches, familiar issues in the final third continue to plague the four-time world champions. The group is bouncing back from a disappointing showing at the World Cup and building towards next summer’s Olympic Games.
The USWNT opened the scoring in the fifth minute. Trinity Rodman received a ball over the top from Naomi Girma and streaked down the wing before hitting a perfect centering pass into the path of an onrushing Sophia Smith.
