The U.S. women’s national team closed out its summer window with a home win against its closest rivals.
Emma Hayes’ squad downed CONCACAF rivals Canada 3-0 in the Continental Clasico in Washington, D.C. The result capped off a perfect 3-0-0 June-July window for the USWNT after they previously defeated the Republic of Ireland twice in late-June.
Sam Coffey continued a productive summer window by opening the scoring with her third goal in as many matches. Coffey finished off Avery Patterson’s pass into the bottom-left corner, giving the Americans a 1-0 advantage after 17 minutes.
Claire Hutton extended the USWNT’s lead to 2-0 before halftime after delivering her first international goal. Rose Lavelle’s service was finished off by Hutton, continuing a busy night for the hosts.
Yazmeen Ryan scored her second goal in as many matches to cap the USWNT’s result at 3-0 just before second-half stoppage time. Ryan cut onto her left foot before stroking a shot into the bottom-right corner.
Goalkeeper Claudia Dickey registered a three-save clean sheet, which marked the USWNT’s fifth-straight shutout.
The USWNT should be back in action this fall as they continue preparations for 2027 FIFA World Cup qualifying.
