USWNT has dominant win in friendly vs. Jamaica: Highlights

The U.S. women’s national team breezed past Jamaica Tuesday night, running up a 4-0 scoreline in a friendly at Energizer Park in St. Louis, Missouri.

Ally Sentnor and Lynn Biyendolo both provided two goals. Sentnor, the Utah Royals attacker, did her damage by scoring twice in a nine-minute span in the first half, while Biyendolo came off the bench to score with her first touch, then provided the final margin with an 88th-minute finish.

With USWNT legend and St. Louis native Becky Sauerbrunn honored before kickoff, the USWNT made light work of a Reggae Girlz side missing some of its biggest names. The U.S. would finish the match with 82% possession, while goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce did not have to register a save on either of Jamaica’s two shot attempts.

U.S. coach Emma Hayes got more things to think about long-term, with Kerry Abello going the full 90 in her first-ever USWNT appearance. Claire Hutton and Avery Patterson, who were in that situation very recently, played major roles in USWNT goals on the night, while Ajax youngster Lily Yohannes pulled the strings in a more advanced role than she played in the 3-0 win over China on May 31.
