🎥 New names shine as USA crush Jamaica and Canada beat Haiti
The women's international break continued on Tuesday with North American sides busy on the pitch. Here is what went down in the latest round of friendly action. USWNT pull off dominant Jamaica win Scorers: Sentnor 19', 28', Biyendolo 60', 89' Advertisement It was one-way traffic at Energizer Park in St. Louis as the United States Women's National team beat Jamaica 4-0. With 21 shots to two and a staggering 82% possession of the ball, the Americans toyed with their opponents on the pitch over 90 minutes. One Ally Sentnor was the star of the first half. Two goals in nine minutes had the hosts in cruise control, with her first seeing the ball struck off the ground to find the left corner. The Utah Royals star then made it for goals in four starts by poking home into the opposite corner from less than 10 yards out. Jamaica frustrated the USA during the second half and impressively kept their attack at bay. However, their initial resistance was broken by the experience of Lynn Biyendolo (formerly Williams). Advertisement After only three minutes on the pitch, the substitute acrobatically forced the ball over the line following a corner kick for 3-0. She then made it a brace of her own after racing into the box and smashing a low cross into the netting from only a few yards out. According to Opta, Biyendolo "has scored 12 goals as a substitute in her #USWNT career, more than any other player since she made her debut in October 2016." Additionally, "Phallon Tullis-Joyce has joined Mary Harvey as the only two goalkeepers to start each of their first three USWNT appearances and keep clean sheets in all of them." Holly Ward impresses as Canada beat Haiti Scorers: Viens 16', 42', Ward 23'; Dumornay 45+2' (P) Advertisement The Canadian Women's National Team cruised to a 3-1 victory over Haiti, with Holly Ward having an impressive individual performance on her first international start. But it was not all smiles on the pitch initially as the hosts were forced into an early change when Liverpool starlet Olivia Smith was stretchered off after receiving a ball to the face from only a few yards out. Having settled after the substitution, Canada captain Jessie Fleming drove to the byline and chipped the ball toward Evelyne Viens, who headed home the opener. Immediately after, it was time for Vancouver Rise attacker Ward to make her mark. The 21-year-old scored her first international goal after directing a header to the back post following Fleming's assist. Minutes later, Ward sent a reverse ball to Viens to set up Canada's third. Advertisement Haiti erased any clean sheet hopes when Melchie Dumornay's penalty found the bottom right corner just before half-time. The goal boosted the visitors' energy, with Haiti registering more shots than Canada (11 to nine) over the 90-minute stretch. A handful of long-range shots from Dumornay threatened to make the game a one-goal affair and called goalkeeper Sabrina D'Angelo to make a last-ditch save in stoppage time. The late surge, however, was too little too late and the Canadians held on for victory. Matches to come: Mexico v Uruguay 📸 Ed Zurga - 2025 Getty Images

USWNT beat Jamaica 4-0 to end perfect international window
Ally Sentnor and Lynn Biyendolo each scored two goals and the United States beat Jamaica 4-0 on Tuesday night after the team honored longtime defender Becky Sauerbrunn. Sentnor scored in the 19th minute, then formed a heart with her hands in celebration. She scored her second off a deflection 10 minutes later. The 21-year-old 2024 U.S. Soccer Young Player of the Year, who now has four international goals, credited her teammates. "They're really easy to play with at moving the ball," Sentnor said. "I'm still trying to work to get better for them." Biyendolo scored in the 60th minute, three minutes after coming into the game as a substitute. She added a second in the 88th minute off a cross from Avery Patterson. Biyendolo has 24 career goals. Phallon Tullis-Joyce made her second consecutive in goal for the United States as coach Emma Hayes looks for a successor to longtime goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, who retired last year. It was her third straight clean sheet. Jamaica, which has never beaten the U.S, started two sets of sisters — Allyson and Chantelle Swaby, and Kalyssa and Amelia Van Zanten. The U.S. was coming off a 3-0 victory over China on Saturday in St. Paul, Minnesota. The national team was originally scheduled to play a pair of matches against China, but Chinese officials in April pulled out of the second game and Jamaica filled the spot. Before the game, the United States honored Sauerbrunn, who retired from soccer late last year. The St. Louis native, whose international career spanned 16 years, is a two-time Women's World Cup winner and an Olympic gold medalist. Fans, who received a bobblehead in her image, gave her a standing ovation and chanted her name in a pregame ceremony. Sauerbrunn, who recently announced that she is expecting her first child with partner Zola Short, also served in her new role as a television commentator for the match. The United States next plays a pair of matches against Ireland, the first on June 26 in Commerce City, Colorado, and the second on June 29 in Cincinnati. The U.S. will also play Canada on July 6 in Washington D.C. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
