The USA started fast with an early goal but it was just a 1-0 lead at the break, and then the reigning World Cup champs went into fifth gear scoring five times to win 6-0. Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan both scored twice, while Tobin Heath and Julie Ertz also scored, both in the second half, putting the U.S. in first place in the group of an eight-team tournament where the top three advance to next summers World Cup.
In two matches against Mexico in April, the United States womens national team had little trouble, securing victories by the scores of 4-1 and 6-2. And with World Cup qualifying starting on Thursday night in the CONCACAF Womens Championship group stage, a similar score was expected between the two teams, with the talented USA squad rolling to victory, and thats just what we got.
