Match Review USA - URU 2-0
USA were made to work to break down Pan-American rivals Uruguay as they battled to a 2-0 victory in their first game of the competition. In the end, just Rachel Dawson’s drag-flick and Kat Sharkey’s late goal separated the sides as the US were left wondering how they could beat the diminutive Rosanna Paselle and her hard-working defence. Uruguay kept out a huge volume of penalty corners, numbering in double figures, as they scrapped, harried and scrambled to great effect in the face of the onslaught.
Dawson saw a drag-flick brilliantly palmed away, another effort was disallowed on an umpire’s referral while Federika Kempner cleared one off the line. Dawson did shoot one home toward the end of the first half to break the deadlock after 25 minutes of near total dominance. The second half followed a similar pattern with the USA piling forward and winning lots of corners but finding no route through the Uruguayan defences. Lauren Crandall pumped a couple just off course while Paige Selenski also went close but no further goals accrued until the final minute. Sharkey provided it, controlling a bouncing ball in from the right flank, smartly turning and finding the bottom corner.
