USWNT Beats Iceland 3-1 in Friendly

The U.S. women's national soccer team, under the leadership of coach Emma Hayes, secured a 3-1 victory over Iceland in a friendly match, extending their unbeaten streak to 11 games. Alyssa Thompson, a 19-year-old forward who was not part of the Olympic roster, scored her first international goal, setting the stage for the win. Iceland equalized through Selma Magnusdottir, but late goals from Jaedyn Shaw and Sophia Smith sealed the victory for the U.S. This match marked the team's first appearance since winning gold at the Paris Olympics, with notable performances from young talents like Thompson and Shaw. The U.S. team maintained dominance with a 70.4% possession, despite Iceland's effective counter-attacks. The teams are set to face off again in Nashville, Tennessee, followed by a match against Argentina in Louisville, Kentucky.
