After a back-and-forth first half, rising star Christen Press broke through for the U.S. in the 61st minute to give the Americans a 2-1 lead against Australia.

Check out Press' first World Cup goal for No. 2 U.S. against the No. 10 Australians. It was Press' 21st international goal, and first career assist in a World Cup for Sydney Leroux. Megan Rapinoe ultimately scored her second goal of the match to lock up the 3-1 win for the American team.
