Filling in nicely for what will be a sold-out crowd at Avaya Stadium.
For these two teams here are the starting 11s. We start with the USA.
Getting two changes there with Taylor Smith coming in for Casey Short.
Kristen Press coming in up top for Lynn Williams and I think that's an interesting piece.
And for Canada they also have two changes.
They're going to come out on their 4-3-3 supposedly.
I don't know if this is the way it's ultimately going to end up.
Megan Kelly starting in that right back position.
USA gets ready to meet Canada for the second time in four nights.
Players coming out of the tunnel here at Avaya Stadium.
Didn't respect the Canadian team for their ability to play football the way
this group has now ascended to.
The style of play that we saw in the last match,
they've been building towards this over the last four years
and you saw that kind of come to fruition.
Goalkeeper for Canada and we are underway with the USA on the ball.
Morgan stays with it but it's called for the foul.
And what's interesting JP is that they're doable.
Up for grabs.
It'll come all the way back.
Nair calls.
Press.
One of the two changes in the starting 11.
Playing it long left side.
That's too long.
Looking for Morgan.
It stays in the field of play somehow.
Hard touch from O'Hara.
Crushed by Rose.
Draws the foul.
Free kick U.S.
Rapinoe.
Curling ball in.
Didn't have enough height to.
Big collision there.
Horan running forward.
Player down.
Here's Morgan.
Moves blocker.
Just now getting back on her feet was Jesse Fleming.
Corner kick U.S.
Their first.
Rapinoe will drive it.
Near post.
That time and a goal.
Julie Ernst makes those runs.
Makes those connections.
Her 14th international goal.
They all come off set pieces.
Are you kidding me?
Press.
Smith.
The cross.
LeBay grabs.
And they're getting it behind with slip balls.
Or in the last attack.
Turns it upfield.
Gets the foul.
Free kick U.S.
Help is coming.
Rapinoe makes one run.
Played into Rapinoe in the middle.
A deflected ball wide of goal.
But Morgan and Rapinoe were definitely on the same page there.
And LeBay was injured.
U.S.
Good idea to Rapinoe.
Just off.
Strong header upfield.
Rapinoe's ready to strike.
Drives it across.
That ball there.
Take it away.
Sinclair with a shot.
Should have been 1-1.
And Sinclair is down.
Well the U.S.
Almost lost their lead.
On what would have been their biggest mistake of the night.
But now the concern is for Sinclair.
She's the third player now.
Games played.
Rapinoe now is down.
This play has been stopped.
I'm sure what happened that time with Rapinoe.
And you're getting a good look at how poor the.
Scott drives it well wide of goal.
And here's a great look.
Sinclair trying to go against Earth.
Three players collide.
It's a rough collision and Earth stays down.
At first glance it looked like someone seen the ball.
Flick by Rapinoe.
Morgan's on the chase.
Kept that ball in.
But then she took a hard tumble.
By the USA bench.
She's been doing very good defensive work this half.
Dow Kemper.
Headed wide of LeBay.
Ball.
Sent in wide.
And that was the last kick of this opening half of play.
Much better performance from the US overall.
Canada made the one change.
Prince for Rose.
In that first half.
Out deep in there.
Leon brings it into the box.
Looks for help.
Went near post instead.
She had players open.
It was deflected out.
This will be Canada's first corner.
And Dow Kemper's pleading.
Becky drives it.
Far post area.
Try to cut it back.
Towards the end line.
Knocked out.
Sixth corner.
First this half for the US.
Oh, she gets a step behind the defense.
Prince is in.
Cutting it back.
Becky, her seventh goal of this calendar year for Canada.
Just like Thursday, Allie.
They've come back.
And just like Joe Ellis was calling for a counter punch.
Here comes Canada.
It started.
It should get an assist.
Ball given there.
Right inside the circle.
Ball on Fleming.
The US is the player down.
Left side.
Looking up.
Driving it across.
It almost fell.
Press.
Ahead to Rapinoe.
Gets through.
Morgan's up.
2-1 US.
Alex Morgan.
Seventh goal in her last seven.
And Jessie Fleming is going to be upset with herself after this one.
Because she got too cute.
She first played the ball around a defender.
Here she goes.
Around press.
Gets it on one side.
Two defenders close it down.
It's Streisand.
Nutmeg.
Horan.
Inter-defensive third.
Poor decision.
But brilliant execution by Press to find Morgan there.
On the backside.
The run of Rapinoe.
Rapinoe.
Now slowed down.
Defenders coming back.
Played inside.
Olavei cuts it off.
But what a good burst of speed for Rapinoe.
By Press.
Rapinoe keeps it.
Shoots.
Stopped by Olavei.
Spills it.
And then recovers.
The US deeply committed to the attack on that play.
And that's twice now that Megan Rapinoe is getting.
Big moments.
Prince.
All the way across.
Well that game rolls on.
Played into the box.
To the middle.
Help there from Lloyd.
Rapinoe will have a shot at goal.
It looked like it was deflected.
It's going to be a corner for the US.
Dangerous here in the second half.
Putting it in through.
Corner earned by Canada.
And I think Prince is.
Put up to the middle.
Merrick comes out.
Didn't get all of it.
Anyone's ball.
And now sent in.
Wildly.
Off the chair.
Heavy touch.
And Rapinoe is able to just boot it.
Upfield.
And now Rapinoe's down.
His play has been stopped.
And the card is coming out.
Look at that move.
Rapinoe sends it across.
Morgan down.
3-1 US.
So Rapinoe won't get any credit for this in the books.
But it's what she does here.
The shimmy and the shake.
She sets up her defender.
Rolls her.
Goes end line.
Trying to get away from the traffic.
Rapinoe.
To Lloyd.
She couldn't get him.
The really number nine players here is Lloyd.
Well, Megan Williams on this right side.
That's intended for short.
Chapman will take it.
Ran into Rapinoe.
And then took it out.
Waiting for a signal.
And then you get a play towards Rapinoe.
Looking.
Shooting.
Then she tried to cover it.
And it's over the end line.
And Rapinoe nearly scored with that on the initial shot.
And then off the post.
And you thought this one was going to finally fall for her.
She's good.
Rapinoe got it forward.
Morgan.
Out for a throw-in.
If we get it.
We won't.
That's it.
The US closes it out in style.
A goal and an assist for Alex Morgan.
He gets credit for the game-winning goal.
And the US beats Canada 3-1.
What an interesting year for the US.
