The United States<\/a> put the finishing touches on 2025 with another friendly win over Italy<\/a> at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Monday night in its final game of the season.<\/p>\n

The U.S. beat Italy 3-0 on Friday with a pair of goals from Catarina Macario<\/a> and the Chelsea<\/a> striker picked up right where she left off before the weekend, opening the scoring Monday with a deft chip over the head of Italy keeper Francesca Durante<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jaedyn Shaw<\/a>, fresh off winning the NWSL<\/a> title with Gotham FC<\/a>, doubled the Americans lead right before halftime. The U.S. worked the ball out of the back through Alyssa Thompson<\/a>, who picked out Shaw at the top of the area. Shaw cut onto her right foot, took an extra touch and curled her shot around Durante to make it 2-0 at the break.<\/p>\n

The U.S. looked to have its third of the night twice in the second half, but Lily Yohannes<\/a> had her sliding strike ruled out for offside and Macario’s goal minutes later was disallowed for a foul before she scored.<\/p>\n

The 2-0 victory means Emma Hayes’ side finishes the 2025 campaign with a record of 12 wins, no draws and three losses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The United States put the finishing touches on 2025 with another friendly win over Italy at Chase Stadium…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10485,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":["post-68072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68072"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68072\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
