La selección de Estados Unidos inició su gira de despedida de tres encuentros antes de viajar a Francia, donde defenderá su corona de Campeonas del Mundo. El domingo, venció 3-0 a Sudáfrica en Levi’s Stadium de Santa Clara ante 22,788 aficionados.

Estados Unidos dominó todo el encuentro hasta que lo vio reflejado en el marcador al minuto 37 con un gol de Samantha Mewis, quien luego anotó el segundo tanto. Carli Lloyd puso el tercer gol, para colocarse como la cuarta mejor goleadora en la rica historia de la selección estadounidense. Estados Unidos ahora viajará a San Luis, donde enfrenta el 16 de mayo a Nueva Zelanda (5 p.m., ESPN2) en Busch Stadium.
