Women's soccer: U.S. defeats Mexico 4-0

On July 1, the United States women beat Mexico 4-0 in a friendly in East Hartford, Connecticut, according to http://ESPN.com. The match was the U.S. team’s second-to-last tune up ahead of this summer’s Olympics in Tokyo.

The U.S. squad went ahead when Kristie Mewis set up her sister Sam to smash home from the top of the penalty area for a 1-0 lead. Megan Rapinoe set up Christen Press for the Americans’ second goal as the U.S. took a 2-0 lead into halftime.

After halftime, Tobin Heath scored while Press added another goal.

The result extended the U.S. unbeaten streak to 43 games—matching the second-longest undefeated run in team history. The U.S. plays Mexico one more time July 5, again in East Hartford, before starting Olympic competition in Tokyo against Sweden on July 21.
