Sophia Smith continues to grow her stock as the future of U.S. Women’s Soccer, leading a 4-0 onslaught over African powerhouse Nigeria.
It only took 14 minutes for the 22-year-old forward to give the USWNT an early 1-0 lead, outrunning the defender and then putting it past goalie Chiamaka Nnadozie.
The USWNT put together a dominant performance for the rest of the match, controlling the ball for 57% of the time and outshooting Nigeria 14-9. Head coach Vlatko Andonovski used the same starting XI that defeated Canada 1-0 in the Concacaf W Championship title game in Mexico.
