The United States women's national team continued their preparation for this summer's Tournament of Nations in strong form after they defeated Sweden 1-0 in Gothenburg on Thursday evening.
Rose Lavelle scored the game's only goal after striding on to a Crystal Dunn pass inside the Swedish box and dispatching her chance on the 56-minute mark, although women's football writer Ann Odong bemoaned the hosts' missed chances:
