The U.S. Women’s team took care of business in their opening match of the 2023 World Cup
member of the generation of forwards carrying the USWNT into the future but making their mark in the present—turned in a spectacular debut, scoring two first-half goals and assisting on the third. The first breakthrough came in the 14th minute, whenflicked a beautiful pass to Smith, who was streaking down the left side of the field and fired a shot through the legs of Vietnam keeper Thi Kim Thanh Tran.
Vietnam was playing to keep the game close. It put all their players back on defense, so the USWNT faced a sea of red jerseys almost every time it had possession. The Golden Star Women Warriors’ offense was, well, non-existent. The USWNT’s defensive back line didn’t face much of an attack: Julie Ertz moved up front for a few scoring chances, but for the most part, she could have spent 90 minutes FaceTiming her son Madden, who’s almost a year old and in New Zealand.
