Alex Morgan vs Club America July 26, 2024 - Summer Cup 2024

Sending players like Scarlett Camberos to investigate the space in behind the Wave's defense. Hernandez. Ball comes all the way back to goal. Oh coming right back. Loose ball on the bottom. And this is a very out of characteristic mistake here from Pano. She's typically a goalkeeper that's absurd through possession. An uncharacteristic giveaway that San Diego can't capitalize on. Morgan battles there. It comes free. Sanchez towards Alex Morgan. Flag was up anyway. Two seasons heavily and when you're not scoring that shirt becomes so much heavier. The game becomes so much more cumbersome and it's such a heavy burden for her to have to play with. But these this tournament. San Diego's front three are so narrow right now. If there is an opportunity to beat that counterpress you would want those wingers into space where they can drive forward. Especially in the back five essentially to be made. Maria Sanchez looking in for Morgan. Pano's off the line. Club America wants to be a team that builds out a poor, poor giveaway here from Hernandez. But an equally clever cheeky little clip. The back line into the run of Alex Morgan. It was read well by. But her role here is a bit different. And tonight even more so because the time. Sanchez got it free. Morgan with the sprint chased by Luna. Morgan's cross. And that was. And there's the opposite side winger to occupy Bennett times that's perfectly gets on. It's the second Morgan. Morgan. Morgan. Morgan. Morgan. Morgan. Morgan. We're just listening to the past couple of minutes. Now we're going to hear in the elongated goal call. Final third. But Club America has been good in transition. Sanchez across. Morgan was there. But so was Pano's with all of that traffic. And these are the spaces that Maria Sanchez wants to occupy. Pick up the ball in those wider, central position, sprays it out wide. This is the space that Maria Sanchez wants to get in. She doesn't even need to beat her defender necessarily to get this service into the box. It's fenced. Six minute floating ball up, headed up the middle by Rodriguez. Bad spot. Colaprico. Donniac. Nice caught. Left foot's in the box. Headed down. It's loose. Cleared by Oriel. McCaskill right back in. Another headed ball. Morgan settles. Deflected away. See who touched it last. Advanced half spaces uses the defenders cuts it back right here. Take a look at that. Freeze herself up. And then it's a little clip ball into the back post where they have numbers. Four versus four. San Diego Wave want to try to catch Club America sleeping on that back post. Ultimately, it's falls. Pass heavy rolls out. Gold kick. Panos 38 minute big push by order. Hell, taking out Morgan. And it's from a goal kick. Alex Morgan trying to get positioning there on or how she uses two hands just draped over. Morgan's lucky to not get a yellow card in that situation. Bit clumsy and reckless. Already passed the one minute of stoppage time with Morgan down. Morgan's still down. It's got to be worse. Got to be one of the strongest groups in this competition. So much parody within this this group. Morgan grimacing as she exits. As soon as this next ball is kicked, it's halftime. She probably didn't really have a chance to brace herself for that either. I'm not thinking that the player is going to come through like that at that point and where she was off the golden second half underway. Take it away. Morgan rushed it and it's wide. Luna is back on the field of America back. Club America territory. Granados forced back by Morgan. Good pressure from Alex Morgan. Results in the turnover. Morgan wanted that ball back. Got it. Morgan end line. The cross was denied. Sanchez forced to the wall. Maria Sanchez. End line. Cutting it. That's blocked. Opportunity all stems from a throw in. Alex Morgan just catches Club America snoozing, running at the back line. They can't clear their line. Sanchez, good counterpressure, forces Ponyos into a really... Morgan. Barsanis. 70th minute. Zeros on the board still here. Yellow card issue. Finding the go-ahead goal for Club America. Alex Morgan is coming out and Kimi Escanio is coming in. Average age of the team has just gotten younger. Escanio is half of Alex's age. 16.
