Carli Lloyd scored twice in first half at the United States beat Portugal 3-0 in an international friendly on Tuesday in Saint Paul, Minn.

The win marked the second in as many matches over Portuguese side, with the USWNT winning last week's match 4-0 in Philadelphia.

Lloyd opened up the scoring for the World Cup winners at a sold-out Allianz Field in the 22nd minute on a close range shot that had bounced off the Portugal keeper.

Lloyd made it a double ten minutes later by converting a penalty after Tobin Heath initially drew the foul just inside the box.
