The USA made it 2-1 in the 33rd minute when Tiffany McCarty was played through and took a shot from the right side that was blocked by the goalkeeper, but Mooney was first to the rebound to knock it home.

Alwine got her second goal in the 37th minute after Christine Nairn won a header off a Miami goal kick, putting Alwine in for a one-one with the goalkeeper and she slotted it to the corner.
