The United States women’s team kicked off the 2022 Concacaf W in style with a 3-0 victory over Haiti in the tournament’s opening match in Monterrey, Mexico.
The United States avoided two chances from Haiti, including a missed penalty kick that bounced off the post, but two goals from Alex Morgan in the first half and a late goal by Midge Bourse in the 84th minute were enough to secure three points for him. The Americans are on their way to the World Cup and qualify for the Olympics.
Morgan was the star of the show as she scored her one-click cross from Mallory Bew in the 16th minute to keep things going. She followed that up with a header from Kelly O’Hara in the 23rd minute.
The San Diego Wave star headed the net in the 11th minute to put pressure on the Haitians at the start. Morgan scored 21 goals in her 21 playoff games, including at least one goal in five consecutive playoffs.
