The US, who drew with the Czech Republic 0-0 in their tournament opener on Thursday, got all the help they needed thanks to Moore’s own goals in the fifth, sixth and 36th minutes.
The US took over from there as Ashley Hatch made it 4-0 with a header in the 51st minute, before Mallory Pugh scored in the third minute of second-half stoppage time.

The first player ever to successfully infultrate an opponents team undercover to ensure victory for their nation. A true American hero.
Maguire's wife?
She should definitely get paid more. That's the kind of entertainment and publicity that makes people see women's football at all.
She really believes how horrible she can get at football!
No matter what she must have same salary as Sergio Ramos
Well, I guess SheBelieved.
Now that's a record no man can break. Women's sports definitely need a raise, especially in wages.
Her idol is the GOAT Sir harry maguire himself
I remember Michael Proctor doing this for Sunderland once about 20 years ago.
Why doesn’t she play as a striker☝🏻
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA
Her coach wants her from now on to play defense for the opposition!
does she wAnt equal pay too?
She believed she was on the US team.
She must be so proud! What a performance great headers and composed finishes, what a player!
She stopped believing
I heard she started to play baseball now since her carrier is over in soccer
Maybe nepotism played a role in her selection.
She deserves equal pay
"The female Maguire doesnt exist".
The female Maguire:
Harry Maguire would be proud
the attackers just cross to her, she will do the rest.
it is hilarious its during the shebelieves cup as well.
How come no is yelling at her or subbed her out after 2??
Maguire
Why don't they go celebrate with her. Doesn't seem right she does the hard work but they run to their friends to celebrate.
These are deadly passes
