Megan Rapinoe's Late Penalty Helps USWNT Salvage Draw with Sweden

The United States women's soccer team has extended its 2021 unbeaten streak to six games after Saturday's 1-1 draw with Sweden in an international friendly in Solna, Sweden.

Megan Rapinoe saved the U.S. from defeat when she scored on a penalty kick in the 87th minute to tie the score.

Sweden's Sofia Jakobsson was called for a penalty on Kelley O'Hara, but it appeared as if the foul occurred outside of the box.

The USWNT returned to the pitch for the first time since winning the SheBelieves Cup with a 6-0 win over Argentina on Feb.
