The U.S. women's national team are set to take on New Zealand in their second international friendly at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand.
Vlatko Andonovski's side travelled to New Zealand as part of their preparation for the 2023 Women's World Cup. They comfortably won the first friendly 4-0 with Mallory Swanson scoring a brace. Alex Morgan and Lynn Williams also registered their names on the scoresheet to get off to a winning start in the New Year.
They hardly had to break a sweat in the second half after a cagey first 45 minutes and if they play to their potential, it should be another comfortable victory for Andonovski's troops.
