USWNT Victorious in Olympic Tuneup
Smith's Goal Secures Win
Team Extends Unbeaten Streak
The United States Women's National Soccer Team (USWNT) emerged triumphant in their Olympic tuneup match against Mexico, avenging their February Gold Cup loss. Sophia Smith's goal in the 64th minute proved decisive, giving the USWNT an 8W-1L-2D record on the year and extending their unbeaten streak to eight consecutive games.
Despite controlling the game and outshooting Mexico 17-6, the USWNT struggled to convert their chances. Their victory highlighted the need for growth as they prepare for the upcoming Olympics.
In February, the USWNT suffered a 2-0 defeat to Mexico in the Gold Cup, marking only their second loss to their rivals. The Olympic tuneup provided an opportunity for redemption, and Smith delivered with her crucial goal.
The USWNT also showcased their resilience in the CONCACAF W Championship, where they secured a perfect group stage record with a last-minute goal.
