Goal 2: ‘Pino to Williams
In the 67th minute, after dominating possession, the US doubled the lead. Megan Rapinoe subbed on and promptly delivered a perfect corner to the head of Williams.
Goal 3: Lindsay Horan
Rapinoe sent in another perfect cross from just inside the corner in the 73rd minute. Lindsay Horan headed the ball home to extend the lead.
Stoppage Time Goal #4: Carli Lloyd
Carli Lloyd finally got onto the score sheet after quite a few shots. She muscled her way past her defenders to head home the nail into Haiti’s coffin.
Up next for the US Women: Panama on Friday January 29th, then Costa Rica on Monday February 3rd to finish up group round play.
Speaking of Costa Rica…
