USWNT player ratings vs Colombia: Mia Fishel, Jaedyn Shaw and Alyssa Thompson steal the show as young stars make statement showing
The trio of young substitutes stole the show as the U.S. earned a 3-0 win.
At the start of the match, there was reason for disappointment. It looked like a game that was destined to be more of the same. Despite criticism from the last match against Colombia on Thursday, Twila Kilgore once again turned to a starting XI of World Cup veterans.
Those veterans weren't the story, at least not this time. No, the USNWT's young stars were the ones that stole the show, leading the way in a 3-0 win over Colombia.
Mia Fishel and Jaedyn Shaw joined Lindsey Horan on the scoresheet, as the captain's stunning goal was sandwiched between two first finishes from a pair of players that feel like they're up next. What made Shaw's goal even sweeter is that it was assisted by Alyssa Thompson, another rising teenager with a bright, bright future.
This was what fans of the USWNT had been hoping for. The young stars took control. Might it be a sign of things to come?
