USWNT Defeats Argentina 3-0 in Final Match

Naomi Girma scored her first two international goals as the United States Women's National Team (USWNT) defeated Argentina 3-0 in their final match of the year on American soil. This victory concluded a successful post-Olympic victory tour, during which the US also defeated Iceland twice. The match featured significant squad rotation, with three newcomers making their debuts, marking the first time in 23 years that three debutants started for the national team. Coach Emma Hayes, who was recently awarded the Women's Coach of the Year at the Ballon d'Or gala, used this international window to experiment with new players in preparation for upcoming challenges. This win continues the USWNT's unbeaten streak against South American teams, which dates back to 2014. The match also celebrated Rose Lavelle's milestone of 100 national team appearances.
