Daily News | Rose Lavelle, Catarina Macario, and Trinity Rodman entertain Philly fans in a 9-0 win over Uzbekistan
On the eve of the U.S. women’s soccer team’s game against Uzbekistan at Subaru Park on Tuesday night, manager Vlatko Andonovski was asked how much he’d rotate his lineup from Saturday’s opener of the two-game set.
There would be some, Andonovski answered, but there were also “certain groups of players” he wanted to see “as much as possible.” And was the electric forward line of Mallory Pugh, Catarina Macario and Sophia Smith an example? The question was barely across the Zoom line when he started smiling.The fans in Chester on Tuesday grinned right along with him. Pugh, Macario, and Smith charged to a six-goal first half, and the Americans finished with a 9-0 romp.A lively crowd of 11,373 was also entertained by the starting midfield trio of Rose Lavelle, Ashley Sanchez, and Andi Sullivan.
The game was never a contest, starting with the Uzbekistan own goal that Rose Lavelle forced just 24 seconds after kickoff. It was 3-0 in 13 minutes, with a sizzling Macario free kick and a bit of Pugh trickery in tight space. It was 6-0 at halftime, with two from Lavelle and another from Macario. Lavelle and Pugh were subbed out at halftime for Kristie Mewis and Trinity Rodman, respectively. O’Hara, Abby Dahlkemper, Margaret Purce, and Ashley Hatch also came in during the second half.The flood of goals slowed after halftime. It took until the 71st minute for the scoreboard to change. But it was a big deal when it did.
