...that score before you play, but this team has to stick and execute their game plan.
...tenth cap gets a start. On that left side, though, I'm curious on how high Crystal Dunn
gets positioned today. Does she push up and bring a winger with her of Brazil? Or does
she stay low and allow Rapinoe to go to work? Not tonight. In front of her,
Ta'ilah gets her first start alongside the consistent center back of Monica.
It looks as though Dabinia is going to slot in centrally. She's been playing on that left
mid-spot. A good glimpse at Brazil throwing numbers forward.
Crystal Dunn is on the ball. The left back going forward.
Rayani is there. She'll step over it for Marta. Curling ball in. Knocked away.
Oh, that's a rough one there. It's going to be brought back.
That was a very physical confrontation from Monica, a teammate of Alex Morgan's in the NWSL.
Runners in the box. Heath. A couple of cuts. Sending it in front. It's wide for Rapinoe.
That's blocked out by Rayani. Should be a corner for the U.S.
Rapinoe more to the middle. And it's over the bar. That's where she was aiming it on that last
corner kick in East Hartford to Horan after going near post several other times.
Tobin Heath returns the favor. Right in front wide. An immediate hand up to apologize
for the young midfield. Rapinoe. They're giving her space. Rapinoe. Shanked that one.
Hooking as Marta takes the free kick. Curling one up there.
In the semis. Here's Rapinoe. Left side. Cutting it back. Intense. Saved by Letizia.
Robin Juliertz. This is one of the beauties of having Juliertz in your midfield.
She makes those late runs. Rapinoe has time to slide this back. Pulls it out.
Here's what we meant about committing to the attack. Brazil on the board. Did it go off
Davidson? They had at least five players on the attack there. I think it did and this all started
with Sonnet rotating hard into midfield and she got one-twoed down that left side. Here it is.
Here comes Brazil. Sonnet gets there but she doesn't put enough pressure on to allow the ball
to get in behind ultimate. Rapinoe. Can it get an answer back quickly? Rapinoe cuts. Rapinoe blocks.
Rapinoe to the middle again. Rapinoe tossing it into space towards Morgan.
It's Letizia. May have taken that Morgan foot in the stomach area. U.S. trailing by a goal.
She goes outside. Beats Rayani. Rapinoe. By Rapinoe to have a crack at goal on her own. Liddell puts it up.
Saved again. At least I thought so. Did Letizia not touch it?
It was the first one. How about that ball by Lindsay Horan? The outside of her right foot
just to lay it into the path of Rapinoe. Then she swivels her hip. That's a foot race won by Brazil.
The cut there. Towards Morgan in the air. Settled. Horan. Went short. Lovell. Rose Lovell, the world
missed you. Of course it starts off as far side with the driven ball with Megan Rapinoe. Alex
Horan has a lot of time to pick out who's just fading away from her defender. She wants the ball
at her feet initially. The ball goes over the top. She just holds her patient run. The top of the 18.
That left side looking for Morgan. Rayani lost it. Lovell. She was going near post.
Set it on a play. And why not? This is something that you haven't seen from the U.S. when Lovell's
not in the in the match. It's rubs from midfield in areas like that where she's tough. Apparently
ball played in. Here's Rapinoe. Juggles. Rapinoe scores 2-1. Unless it's waved off.
I think it's waved off. Are they saying offside? Did she handle that ball when it came
off? The attention of defenders. 21 up. Straight up it comes. Into the box. Morgan. Rapinoe's open.
Right into the box. Rapinoe says no. Right in your finger at Rapinoe. Adriana. Becky Sauerbruch.
That should be it. That's the final whistle. Entertaining and somewhat physical opening half
of play. The own goal off Davidson. Morgan Bryant as we get going here is is more about her astute
positioning and expect more of that. Rapinoe with the ball. Sending it forward. And that was a swipe
of the ball by Letizia and it went out. Rapinoe had five. Adriana. Nice backheel. Adriana.
Getting closer. She went down and gets the call just outside of the box. Free kick Brazil.
In a dangerous spot. And Brazil does this at times when they. It is Marta. Up and over. Chips.
Morgan. Turns. Morgan shot saved by Letizia. Oh she's come up big on a couple of occasions tonight.
Bryani has got it away from Heath's pressure. It's a US throw in. Good play by Sonnet.
To the end line. She'll cut it back and Letizia. Here's Horan.
Morgan. Has Rapinoe. Low shot stopped by Letizia. There is no rebound.
Behind her. Heath. Waits. Gets end line. Played it up. Well Jill Ellis talked about the importance
of the US using that advanced half space coming into tonight's match against Brazil. I don't know
that they found it enough in the first half. The second half they're finding some joy in it. It's
Alex Morgan who checks off there. And then Toman Heath running in behind. You get two runners
coming. McCalls-Raboni. Pulls her run out. This one up. Step behind the defense. Marta played it
across. Should have been a tie game. It was right there off the foot of Marta. Perfect pass in.
And I don't know if there's much Becky Sauerbrunn can do about. Game is really wide open now.
Marta trying to angle in. Sauerbrunn with a terrific challenge. And then Naya prevented
that from becoming a corner. Great effort from Sauerbrunn. By Heath. Toman Heath cracks it.
And Letizia. That ball was moving. From the trap to the shot. That was pretty well done by Toman
Heath. Just trying to knuckle it in. Back to live action. It's Davinia cutting it in for Marta.
Morgan in the box. Waits for help. It's coming. She overshot her and Heath. Go. US leads 3-1.
Well this game is really opened up and well just to write off that. Waits for the movement from
Dunn. Repeater to the end line. Playing it back for Horan. Cross for Heath but flying up apparently.
Unless that entire ball was out. Ertz on the right side. Morgan makes her run into the box.
Ertz lost. US so far making the two changes. Up field it's Morgan. She went down.
Free kick. Taylor's gonna get booked. It's been a rough night for Alex Morgan.
And Monica just gets sold. Looks like it's Megan's for sure. Maybe 24 yards away. Rapinoe strikes.
Rapinoe. Hits side netting. Second ball won by Davinia. Sonnet got it back. Another free kick.
Megan Cross went in. Tapped. And yet another assist for Rapinoe. Those two linking up again
and she's wide open. No one tracks her. It's a cutting running. Leticia's caught. No man's land.
Bounces free. Quick strike there is blocked. Horan looking. Cavila looking. Firing.
Trailing 4-1. That'll do it. Game over Alec. US wins the game. Wins the tournament. Your final
take on this one. They continue to get better and better with little wrinkles and elements.
I thought they managed to gain a lot of points.
