REIMS, France - The United States needed two Megan Rapinoe penalties, one of them controversially confirmed after a lengthy VAR review, to beat Spain 2-1 on Monday and set up a quarter-final clash with hosts France at the women’s World Cup.
After breezing through the group phase, including a record 13-0 win over Thailand, holders the U.S. lacked inspiration and conceded their first goal of the tournament as Spain rose to the occasion in searing heat at the Stade Auguste-Delaune. “We know that, we’ve learned that. So part of it is the mental piece and I thought they were great tonight.”
“I really feel that we all should be proud of what we did. I am very proud indeed. In terms of competitiveness, we gave the best team in the world a run for their money,” he told a news conference. The champions were still all over Spain though and Rapinoe twice came close as Heath tormented the defense on the right.
