The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team had an exciting match against Colombia on Thursday night, but ultimately ended in a 0-0 draw. Despite the lack of goals, the game was full of drama, as Alex Morgan missed a penalty kick in the second half that could have given the USWNT the lead.
The match was a friendly exhibition between the two teams, but both sides were playing with intensity and determination. The USWNT had the majority of possession and created more chances than their opponents, but Colombia was able to keep them at bay with some solid defending.
The game’s biggest moment came in the second half when Alex Morgan stepped up to take a penalty kick. Morgan is one of the most prolific goal scorers in USWNT history, but unfortunately she was unable to convert her chance from the spot. The Colombian goalkeeper made a great save to deny Morgan and keep the game scoreless.
Despite the missed opportunity, the USWNT can take some positives from the match. They were able to create chances against a strong Colombian side, and their defense was able to keep a clean sheet. It was also a great opportunity for some of the younger players to get some valuable experience playing against international opposition.
The USWNT will now turn their attention to their next match against Mexico on Sunday. They will be looking to get back to winning ways and will be hoping that Alex Morgan can find the back of the net this time around.
