The United States Women’s National Team fell behind early but fought back to win convincingly, capturing a physical 4-1 win over Brazil at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, IL. The Yanks knew they needed a two-goal win (or better) to win the Tournament of Nations after Australia’s win over Japan in the early game eliminated Brazil, and they got it.
Rose Lavelle, Julie Ertz, Tobin Heath, and Alex Morgan brought the U.S. back after a Tierna Davidson own goal put the Brazilians ahead in the early stages. The Americans unseated the Matildas as Tournament of Nations champs on goal differential, with both teams finishing 2-0-1 and on seven points.
