Mallory Pugh Scores a Brace, Americans Dominate Denmark in First Game of 2018

The U.S. women's soccer team was dominant in its first game of the year Sunday against Denmark as it ran rampant, putting five goals past the Danes en route to a 5-1 win.

It was Denmark who scored the first goal of the game off a Nadia Nadim header but Mallory Pugh stole the headlines by tormenting Denmark's defense time and time again, assisting on the USA's opening goal and finding herself in dangerous positions all game.

She turned from provider to scorer shortly after, scoring the third and fourth goal for the Americans to put the game officially out of reach for the Danes.
