And midfield getting into the 10, Andy Sullivan sitting behind her.
Pay particular attention to Kalia Ojai on the right hand side.
Another player, only her.
Final note there in a playoff match, but you focus on the two up front.
And Vitafu is the player who...
First ever meeting here, your referee is Katia Koroleva.
Game on here in San Jose.
She wants to create a group in here.
Ball comes into the box, shooting opportunity for Press.
Blast it in.
What a hit from Kristen Press.
It fell gratuitously to her.
She delivers it in the back of the net.
It's 1-0 in San Jose.
And this is where Kristen Press is just so dangerous
because here she's just cleaning something up.
A gift falls to her.
She's avoided it.
It's Heath.
Cuts it back on a dime.
Whips it in.
Second ball isn't.
She found Press.
Press has got a run here.
Ryan.
It's bent in.
And what a goal it is.
It's Tobin Heath.
Wrapped her right foot around it.
Bends it in.
Hits the side netting.
The U.S. are off and flying here at Avaya Stadium.
Ten minutes in, it's 2-0.
You know, Romania was probably thinking,
Hey, we got a little bit of rhythm.
We're doing okay here.
And then like that, with two excellent finishes.
Here's a great lesson for Romania.
You just don't give this team time and space in the box.
And Tobin Heath.
Breathe.
Oh, high now.
Beats one beautifully.
Along the end line.
Can she find someone?
Crosses.
Cuts it.
Gun has got huge space here.
She'll square it back.
It's side-footed away.
One.
Still Kristen Press.
She'll lay it on.
It's a chance to make it three.
A huge save.
And cleared.
As driving in there was Lynn Williams.
But a huge save there from the goalkeeper, Roxanna Oprah.
Press drawing a defender.
Wants to just slip.
Romania's got a few players forward here.
They'll get a good cross into the box.
Here's Roos' header.
Oh, it skimmed off the outside of the post.
Would have been a memorable goal for the striker.
And would have been a memorable goal for Romania.
That will give them a little bit of confidence as well.
They have some success.
A lot of space in and around the six.
That's where it goes.
And that's it.
In it goes.
The United States have scored.
Morgan Bryan laid out completely unmarked for the diving header.
It is now 3-0.
You're going to see Morgan Bryan coming in upper left.
She's just going to get there first.
Harris is off her line.
She's got an empty net to hit.
She's got a hit.
And Romania has scored.
And it's a significant moment here for Laura Roos and Romania
scoring against the United States.
And it's now 3-1.
And Ashlyn Harris just gets stuck.
You can see how high she is at the top of your screen.
And she has to make that split-second decision.
Do I come or do I retreat?
And I think she makes the wrong decision there
because she can't get there.
That no-man's land when you're stuck.
Roos does a good job of just –
Roos done that.
Done to the end line.
She's left the defender.
She squares it back.
Shot is blocked.
It goes piston-pressed.
A hard time breathing here.
Quickly getting their staff on the field.
Nice bit of soccer right there to pull defenders, get around them,
and Dunn getting in line.
And here's the thing with that three front.
Short now.
Ball lays on a perfectly weighted pass here.
Bryan lays it back.
Hat-trick time.
Three on the trot here in San Jose.
Kristen Press, who played her college soccer very close to here at Stanford,
has hit for a hat-trick, and it is now 5-1.
Well, it's been so difficult for her.
Fourth here.
Shot is blocked.
Still Dunn.
Dunn will whip a shot.
Heath is making a run in there.
He's headed out by Romania.
I've gotten into a few positions to counterattack here,
but the United States for the eighth time here in the year 2016
has scored five or more goals in a game,
and three of them in this first 45 minutes to that woman, Kristen Press,
who has hit for a hat-trick.
Stadium game on here in the second half.
The United States have made a number of changes.
We'll get you caught up with those.
They are in white.
Romania in yellow.
Moran now.
And one more pass towards Crystal Dunn.
Moran.
Here's Sullivan.
And she lets fly from long range.
Good idea.
Nice to be a goal threat from central midfield.
Well, this is going to be an interesting
and a different test for the U.S. in this half because you can see.
U.S. hungry here.
A right footed shot.
Parried away.
Alex Morgan let fly.
Crystal Dunn blazing towards the end line.
Gets a crossover.
The header's in.
It's Alex Morgan from Dunn.
It's now 6-1 U.S.
The work done by Dunn.
The final touch applied by Morgan.
Getting it done.
As she has been all game.
She's been having her way on that end line.
Crystal Dunn.
Look at all the time and space.
She's facing up.
She's getting in line.
And then the part that has been missing from the puzzle
and was in the first half against that first game against Switzerland is fine.
Because here's the United States on the attack.
Drop down in the box.
We're going to the penalty spot.
Driving in there was Ali Long who got herself forward
and probably was relishing the opportunity to take somebody on.
She's going to earn a penalty here.
Now, mind you, this is Ali Long who just.
Morgan.
Saved.
And it's a beautiful save by the Romanian goalkeeper, Oprah,
who denies Alex Morgan from the penalty spot.
Big moment for a goalkeeper that has been beat.
Long at the back post and can't guide the target.
The header on target was an offside position anyway.
Maybe coaches told me to work on.
Long in the box.
Off the turn.
Shot and saved.
Alex Morgan got turned and tried to go upstairs on Oprah and goal for Romania.
We get a good-looking cross in.
Oprah came off her line.
Empty net.
And it's swiveled in.
Alex Morgan, who picks up her second.
And the United States in the 75th minute get another one here.
Again, this all starts with Dunn.
Look at this nice little move out of the corner.
Hops it over her foot.
And then looking for a seam.
And if you're going to come up, come out that far, as a goalkeeper, you have got to.
Ball from Horan.
It's laid on.
Morgan.
Here's Tobin.
Rolls it back with the sole of her foot.
Muis flips it to the back post.
A lot of shirts are there to run it over the end line.
But continues on.
It's Allie Long in the box who's set her left foot up and can't turn it on target.
Might have gotten a little contact there as she took the shot here in the 87th minute.
Horan.
Tobin Heath will get a shot off.
It's parried over the top by Oprah.
And it will be a corner for the U.S.
You can see these creative players.
Tobin Heath.
Right-footed shot from Heath.
It's an own goal.
Deflects him off feet side.
The despair on her face and the joy on Tobin Heath's face.
The United States go up 8-1.
Tobin Heath, little cuts.
Sees a little window and thinks, why not?
And feet side, she's put in for longer.
And maybe they have confidence.
And that first half is a different story.
But immediately with those early goals from Press, that game changed.
Crowd is happy seeing eight goals here tonight.
Two in the second half from Alex Morgan.
