The United States defeated Brazil 2-1 on Wednesday night to win the SheBelieves Cup for the fourth straight year. Alex Morgan and Mallory Swanson, of Colorado, scored the two goals.
Japan, which defeated Canada 3-0 in the earlier match at Toyota Stadium, was runner-up in the four-team, round-robin tournament. All four SheBelieves Cup teams will play in Women’s World Cup this summer in Australia and New Zealand.
“That was huge,” Swanson said. “I think we needed it, we needed the momentum to kind of shift in our favor. Alex doing Alex things. Simple, left foot, classic. She was getting beat up all first half and ultimately she punished them." “We need to be on the same page. But not only when it comes to reading the game, but also the emotional game, we need to be on the same page. If we can do that, I think we’ll have a great World Cup. If we can’t, it will be very difficult. So that’s why I’m saying we have a long way to go," Brazil coach Pia Sundhage said.
