The United States women’s national team (USWNT) lost 0-1 to Australia on the opening night of the Tournament of Nations at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington on Thursday. This loss marks the first time the Australians have beaten the Americans in the series history.
Sky Blue FC’s Sam Kerr started the game for the Australian side, while defender Kelley O’Hara came off the bench in the second half for the United States. The game also featured armbands and a minute of applause in tribute to World Cup and USWNT legendary coach Tony Dicicco, who passed away in June.
