  Another Brazilian corner. Lindsey Horan heads the ball to Smith, but Brazil plays the ball out to Smith to get the ball out. The U.S. has struggled in transition, unable to keep the ball after defending against Brazil’s playmaking and playmaking. It’s something to work on as the game progresses.

  Another dangerous chance for Brazil, as Emily Fox prevents Ludmila from heading in Gaby Portilho’s cross. Brazil win a corner, but the United States manage to clear it out of the box.

  Emma Hayes has slightly altered the lineup in response to Brazil’s first 30 minutes, bringing Trinity Rodman back and playing more in midfield when Brazil have the ball. Rodman is an asset both in defence and attack, and will have the speed to contain Ludmila and Yasmin on Brazil’s left side.

  Another potential chance, with Smith sending in a shot from the left side, but it doesn’t have enough power and it heads straight at Lorena.

•

  Mallory Swanson takes advantage of a bad pass to Lorena, the goalkeeper, to go for the ball, but collides with Lorena in the attempt. Lorena gets up and looks like she will be fine to continue playing, but Brazil is fouled as a result.

  As expected, it’s been a very physical game so far. In just 30 minutes, the Brazilians have committed six fouls and the Americans four. Brazil is always physical and takes advantage of it well; in the past, the U.S. women’s team has responded to physical teams by pressing, but they will have to make sure they keep a cool head in the face of any major mistakes.

  After 30 minutes, both teams take their first water breaks. It’s 85 degrees in Paris and more than half of the participants are still sitting in the sun. Hopefully, this will give the United States a chance to recover.

  Brazil has several chances to get into the U.S. box, but Naeher manages to save one and take it to the other end of the field.

  A foul on Sophia Smith gives the U.S. national team another free kick from inside the center circle; it goes a little too far, but Swanson manages to stop it and pass the ball to Rodman. Rodman’s shot, however, goes straight to Lorena.

  Mallory Swanson makes a beautiful run down the wing, but Lorena makes an incredible save to keep the USWNT off the scoreboard.

•

  Mallory Swanson takes another penalty kick, but the ball goes straight to Brazilian goalkeeper Lorena. Swanson has been taking corner kicks for the United States this game, as Rose Lavelle, who usually takes the corner kicks, is not in the starting lineup.

  Brazilian captain Adriana is unhappy that a penalty was not awarded for contact with Crystal Dunn inside the box. The VAR and the central referee consult, but decide that it is not a penalty. The United States dodges another bullet.

  So far, this has been a very fast-paced game, which isn’t ideal for a U.S. women’s national team that has played five games in less than two weeks. The U.S. women’s national team typically thrives when it can control the ball, but Brazil isn’t giving it that opportunity.

  Brazil’s best bet will be to keep up the pace and pressure. It will be a battle to see who can score first; whoever gets the first point will likely be able to ride that momentum to the end.

  The United States are lucky again: a Brazilian cross goes over Naomi Girma but she also misses her target in front of goal.

•

  A sigh of relief for the United States, as Ludmila scored a great goal for Brazil, but was called for offside. Brazil is having much better luck getting past the U.S. defensive line, and is just too close for comfort.

•

  Another corner after Trinity Rodman, following a bit of his trademark dribble, played a pass to Mallory Swanson, whose cross was sent wide. But Swanson’s attempted corner kick hit the top of the goal and went out of bounds.

•

  The United States takes a corner kick, but the referee misses the first goal and reprimands some Brazilian players inside the box. Mallory Swanson heads wide, allowing Brazil to quickly advance towards goal, but Crystal Dunn stops play.

  The United States and Brazil are common enemies

  The United States and Brazil women’s national teams have met frequently, with the United States holding an all-time record of 32 wins, 5 losses, and 3 draws. Their last meeting was in the final of the inaugural Concacaf Women’s Gold Cup, which the United States won 1-0.

  The United States, seemingly regaining some composure, tries several times in and around the box, before Sophia Smith sends a weak shot straight at Brazilian goalkeeper Lorena.

  The United States women’s national team gets an early chance with a free kick about halfway outside the box, but the ball bounces out of bounds.
