United States beats Colombia to open SheBelieves Cup

Catarina Macario and Ally Sentnor both scored as the United States beat Colombia 2-0 in its opening game of the SheBelieves Cup.

Playing their first competitive games since winning gold at the 2024 Olympics, U.S. coach Emma Hayes started a side in Houston on Thursday that blended veteran experience and promising young talent.

Macario opened the scoring in the 33rd minute when she pounced on Yazmeen Ryan's perfect cross in front of goal and beat Colombia keeper Katherine Tapia for her first goal in nearly three years.
