Mallory Swanson's return, after a 710-day absence from international play, marked a positive development for the team. In their first encounter, Spain took an early lead with Patri Guijarro scoring in the third minute and Eva Navarro adding another goal in the 14th minute. The U.S. struggled to capitalize on 13 shots, with 10 on target, and missed a penalty from Lily Yohannes, saved by Spain's goalkeeper Adriana Nanclares. Spain also faced a late setback when Athenea del Castillo was sent off due to violent conduct after a video review.
As both teams prepare for a competitive rematch, Spain will look to leverage its tactical midfield and strong forwards. The U.S. must enhance its finishing and defensive coordination to secure a positive outcome. Fans can expect adjustments in the lineup as Hayes assesses her options for the upcoming qualifiers.
The match is set to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on NBC Universo.
