Head coach Jitka Klimkova switched things up for the USWNT U-20 semifinal against Haiti at CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers. But in a win-and-you’re-in game, the US didn’t put together much of a first half start.
At first it seemed like DeMelo, Sanchez, and Smith would be working some smooth one- and two-touch balls through the midfield and into the attacking third, but Haiti stayed patient and disciplined, catching the US in several offside traps.
