Christen Press scored the only goal and Alyssa Naeher kept a clean sheet as the United States Women’s National Team escaped Norway with a 1-0 win over the host country. It was the second 1-0 win on a trip in which host sides Sweden and Norway should reasonably have expected to take something from the game.
The USWNT was poor by its lofty standards on the trip but managed to take one more chance than either host country in each game, coming home with two wins in as many tries. The U.S. improved to 29-19-2 against Norway in the all-time series and 2-1-1 as the road team in Norway.
