Adrianna Franch was subbed in to start the second half. Dunn and Sauerbrunn made up the left half of the U.S.’s backline and Horan played as the defensive midfielder.
The match started with the U.S dominating the possession stats but Mexico quickly got a foothold in the match and created their own spells of possession. The match was slow and choppy to start but as the sky opened up and the rain pounded down the match became more transitional and chances followed.
