The US women’s national team might have experienced big gaps in international play recently, but it was business as usual for them as they stepped on the pitch against Colombia in the first of two friendlies.
The first half started with relentless high pressure in attack and defense, yielding an early goal for a wide-open Sam Mewis as she picked up an easy cross from Megan Rapinoe and finished it on the ground.
