Team news & squadsUSWNT team news
Emma Hayes’ starting XI in Austin featured 10 players from the 2024 Olympic squad, with a special spotlight on Emily Sonnett, who celebrated her 100th appearance for the national team.
However, it was the sole non-Olympian, 19-year-old forward Alyssa Thompson, who opened the scoring for the USWNT. She netted her first international goal with a stunning far-post strike in the 39th minute. Iceland managed to draw level early in the second half with a long-range effort, but the U.S. clinched the victory thanks to two late strikes from substitutes.
Teenager Jaedyn Shaw, the youngest member of the 2024 Olympic roster, delivered the decisive goal in the 85th minute. Shortly after, Sophia Smith, part of the formidable “Triple Espresso” trio in France, sealed the win with her team-leading ninth goal of the year in the 88th minute.
Sunday’s match will honor forward Mallory Swanson, who will also reach the century mark. The 26-year-old was pivotal in the Olympics, scoring the winning goal in the gold medal match against Brazil. Additionally, two-time FIFA Women’s World Cup champion Kelley O’Hara will be celebrated during a special halftime ceremony.
Hayes also handed out two international debuts, bringing on 25-year-old forward Yazmeen Ryan and 23-year-old midfielder Hal Hershfelt in the second half to earn their first caps for the national team.
USWNT possible XI: Murphy; Krueger, Sams, Girma, Mace; Hershfelt, Albert, Moultrie, Sanchez; Ryan, Smith
Iceland team news
Heading into their doubleheader against the U.S., Iceland had been in impressive form, losing only once in their previous eight matches while securing five victories.
Manager Porsteinn Halldorsson’s squad lacks significant experience, with just one player, defender Glodis Viggosdottir, boasting over 100 international appearances. The rest of the roster is relatively inexperienced, with defender Ingibjorg Siguroardottir being the next closest at 65 caps.
Scoring has also been a challenge for the team, as only two players have netted double-digit goals at the international level: Viggosdottir with 11 goals and Sveindis Jonsdottir with 12.
Iceland possible XI: Ivarsdottir; Arnardottir, Viggosdottir, Sigurðardóttir, Asgrimsdottir; Antonsdóttir, Jóhannsdóttir; Eiriksdottir, Vilhjálmsdóttir, Jónsdóttir; Kristinsdóttir
