USA Win First of Three vs. Japan - USWNT 2 - 1 Japan - Official Highlights
Coffey with this ball swept in towards the back post, Robben back inside, Rose Lavelle!
Career start, Rose Lavelle fires the lead and it's only taken eight minutes.
Matsukubo the one NWSL player in the starting lineup from North Carolina Courage and then
the shot from distance straight at Claudia Dickey. Tanikawa the Bayern midfielder giving it a crack
from a long way out. Toko Koga turns up over halfway and played forward there for Matsukubo
to lift it over the top and Wesley trying to get back to defend as it's a chance here for Tanikawa.
Tanikawa plays the ball and a shot coming from Hiyasawa, Manchester United. This one swept in
towards the back post and Dickey has to deal with it there it took a dip at the last moment.
Claudia Dickey was equal to it. Robben's ball inside towards he slides it through to Wilson
it's Sophia Wilson here with a chance to pull it across goal by Alyssa Thompson. I love that Naomi
Goodman shared that and especially a moment she said as a child of immigrants she saw the
sacrifices her parents made in order for her. This one's driven across goal Claudia Dickey
able to get a touch to it as Sam Coffey looks to get this one away under pressure here from
Hiyasawa. Japan have seven clean sheets in their last eight matches
heading into this one they conceded eight minutes in. Rose Lavelle goal. Takahashi playing it back
and compact it's played through here for Lavelle and Lavelle's ball across goal
might come towards Alyssa Thompson. Lavelle back for Heath. Kamano with this cross into the middle
headed away by Fox. US requesting the offside flag. Dickey's ball up towards halfway
coming towards Rose Lavelle. Lavelle into the path of Sophia Wilson. Wilson twisting and turning
it's Wilson denied by Yamashita. Getting set to make another change my guy coming in
it's a decent delivery but flicked away to the edge of the box
and then Ueki touch straight at Dickey with a shot that was the chance
