The US women's national team erased a two-goal deficit to tie World Cup champion Spain, with Mallory Swanson scoring her first goal since the 2024 Olympic gold medal game after having a child.
I'll be honest, I was expecting another loss for the US women's national team. But they proved me wrong by tying World Cup champion Spain in a match that felt like a similar script to their previous loss.
The US team erased a two-goal deficit to tie the game, with Mallory Swanson scoring her first goal since the 2024 Olympic gold medal game after having a child. This is a big deal for Swanson and the team as they head into the FIFA Women's World Cup just seven months away.
Spain has been on the rise, blooming from an up-and-coming federation to a global powerhouse. But the US team showed that they're not ready to give up yet.
The game was intense, with both teams giving it their all. Alexia Putellas had scored the first goal and recorded the assist on the second goal for Spain. Salma Paralluelo scored the second goal for Spain, five minutes after their first goal.
But the US team refused to give up. Sophia Wilson fed Ashley Sanchez, who tucked the ball past Spain's goalkeeper and into the far corner. This was a crucial moment in the game, as it gave the US team hope that they could tie the game.
