Lindsey Horan’s penalty kick gives US a 2-1 win over Japan in SheBelieves Cup

Lindsey Horan scored on a penalty kick in the 77th minute and allowed the United States to get past Japan 2-1 in the SheBelieves Cup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium Saturday afternoon in Atlanta.

Japan forward Kiko Seike dashed down the wing and evaded a defender with a shot that was out of the reach of U.S. goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher. With Seike’s goal in the first thirty seconds, it was the earliest the United States allowed a goal since 2003.

Notably, there were 50,644 fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, a record for a friendly match for the United States women on home soil. It was also the largest crowd for a women’s game in the United States since the 1999 World Cup final.
