Alex Morgan vs Colombia March 4, 2024 | 2024 Concacaf Womens Gold Cup - Quarterfinals | AM13HD

We'll get you set on the starting Larrico. Linda Caicedo is the superstar, the very young superstar. So they're saving her, perhaps, for these crucial moments. Alex Morgan taps it head-to-shoulder. Those two teammates, the standing... The build-up from the back, the problem. Where are the symptoms? Where is the actual problem coming from? Her run is just a symptom. What a group to be a part of. It's incredible. It's funny because there are seven players on this roster that weren't alive. Morgan takes it away. Cuts through. Is hit. And there's a penalty coming. Alex Morgan draws. The pressure on Ennio, cracking. Alex Morgan gets a touch. Gets it back from her run. And there it was. Out of position, just threw her body into Alex Morgan. Easy call for the referee. And Caravaglia goes into the referee's books. Completely left for dead on an island. Alex Morgan to take this penalty. She's already hit one in the group stage. Colombia still arguing. Morgan is ready to go. Of course, with any penalty, there is a VAR review. But it's confirmed. Just any sort of last-ditch hope. Here's the gamesmanship. Morgan frustrated. It's up to the referee here to manage this. Alex Morgan doing the right thing. She's holding her ground. And the referee has to clear the path. Giraldo's also going to stand there. The keeper, of course. And the stand after the last men's World Cup. This is no longer allowed as well. Yeah. And it's again up to... There's a goalkeeper. Not to bite. On the left shoulder, dipping. And the right foot going the other way. Sam Coffey on a set piece for the United States. Morgan looking to break free. And a whistle. Usme. Morgan. Bit of a tussle here. Rodman there to help out. The referee trying. Where is the referee? Alex Morgan has seen so many of these instances. These scenarios play out. It's an intense affair. Catalina. Usme. It's the build-up play when you have defensive pressure like this. And the US turning it on. Your rhythm is now gone. You're focusing too much on emotions. And that's the fair color they could fall into. Morgan. Nice one. Fires. Tucks it in the corner. Well, we talked about Colombia losing the long ball. Morgan being a nuisance. Just get a piece of it. And look who follows up. The left back. But Moira. The technical finish. Didn't ask for permission. Put the laces right through it. Corner pocket. 1-2 to the United States. And they're off to a flyer. Look at that finish. Make the most of it. Played long to Alex Morgan from Niswonger. Morgan. Positive touch. In the box. And it's a light shot. It's that stuff for the second goal. Now look at this touch. Brings it on one. On the weaker left foot. Gets into space. Does the right thing. Plays the ball into the mixer. We're taking every opportunity to put a knock on an opponent. Caicedo's there to help out. And she gives it back to Sam Coffey. U.S. looking to transition now. Morgan. Interrupted. But she still gets a two-by shot. A slow a little bit. And draw that. Well, how do you come out of a losing scenario against Mexico? Well, Twylak. Bobbled around. Up for Morgan. Sprints to it. Two defenders around. Well, she continues up. Very, very close. Haran is having a discussion with the referee. So the call is that it's a free kick. Right at the edge of the box. So, pretty obvious acting job there from Arias. Still going. Penalty. But again, the dominance from the U.S. The turn-by-shot. And there was a sniper in the crowd. Alex Morgan hasn't scored. Four nines, one goal. This is dangerous. We saw her do it against Dominican Republic. She likes to go one-v-one in those wide spaces as well. This one over the top to Shaw from Morgan. Who's May? Shaw. Morgan. Squares. Haran. Nice swunger. Morgan looking to turn and go. She's ripped down. The ability to run off the ball and create on the ball. Fresh legs of Lavelle. Almost made an opportunity out of nothing. Morgan still battling. It's to put that whole discussion to bed. And now the players, in this second 45, are now trying to find some rhythm after that intense, high-press affair, which they capitalized on. Now they've slowly... Morgan. Coffee. Curls it up. Looking for Haran. Oh, the header! Almost able to... The header. We'll see. What a ball to the back post. Lindsay Haran is special. Puts the ball on a platter. Would you like red wine or white wine with that, Alex Morgan? That's one that Morgan has finished before. Oh, yeah. But the set-up was fantastic. The ball from... Nice swunger makes a run wide. And she'll switch, actually, to Morgan. Alex Morgan's day is done. Olivia Moultrie and Sophia Smith will create her today for the United States. She won the penalty to go up 1-0. She flicked on the ball to Nice swunger for the second goal. And she's done everything defensively. Alex Morgan looking on... See Fleming in the midfield. She is a great connector for that team. They have really run through this tournament, so that is an exciting CONCACAF rivalry. And what about the emotion?
