I love seeing Seattle’ Emeri Adames get the assist, but this is a tough result against an Italy side that is playing in their first ever U20 World Cup

The USA got on the board first in the 18th minute after building out of the back. Central defender Lizzie Boamah dribbled down the left side before playing a pass to left wing Emeri Adames. The Seattle Reign forward beat her defender with a nutmeg, cut inside and played a square ball with pace across the face of goal. Italian goalkeeper Elena Belli got a finger on the ball, but it rolled to forward Micayla Johnson for a left-footed tap-in.
