The U.S. Beat Vietnam 3-1 in Their World Cup Debut

Fies Smith scored twice in her World Cup debut and then assisted Lindsey Horan's goal as the U.S. cruised past a Vietnam team that failed to even register a shot. Six of the 11 starters had never played in the World Cup before, including Julie Eertz returning to her old center-back position alongside Naomi Girma. Savannah Demello was deputizing for Rose Lavell, who had been injured and dealing with a knee injury for the past three months.
