U.S. Women’s Soccer Defeat Canada 3-0 for Fifth Consecutive Win

The U.S. Women's National Team continued their dominant form by securing a 3-0 victory over Canada, marking their fifth consecutive shutout win and extending their unbeaten streak in friendlies to five games. Claire Hutton scored her first international goal in the 36th minute, while Sam Coffey and Yazmeen Ryan also contributed to the scoring, with Coffey netting a goal credited after a sequence involving Avery Patterson and Ryan completing the tally late in the match. Coach Emma Hayes made ten lineup changes from the previous game, demonstrating the depth of the squad and her strategy of testing numerous players ahead of the 2027 World Cup, having given 24 players their international debuts during her tenure. The match showcased strong set-piece performances, particularly from Rose Lavelle, who provided key assists before receiving a standing ovation upon substitution. Despite the convincing win, Hayes tempered expectations, emphasizing the need for continued development as the team prepares for upcoming World Cup qualifiers. Defender Naomi Girma highlighted the coach's trust in younger players, which has fostered confidence and strong play across the roster.
