Rose Lavelle is back on the pitch, and she now gets to show out for her home city. The USWNT plays the second of its two friendlies with the Republic of Ireland on Sunday afternoon. Even with changes coming to the lineup, the Americans should be in good form on the heels of Thursday’s 4-0 result.

Avery Patterson scored her first international goal with a brilliant header, assisted by Lavelle in the 18th minute. Mainstay scorer Sam Coffey made it 2-0 off her left foot, and Lavelle found the back of the net in style early into the second half. Agreeable vibes all around. Then, this:

This was some video game work from Alyssa Thompson in the 63rd. She looked like she was playing FC25 against a beleaguered child or a sleepy kitten. Lilly Reale was credited with the assist in her first USWNT cap. The Americans almost scored a fifth goal at the end of the match, when 19-year-old call-up Olivia Moultrie launched a fearless shot from long distance and hit the crossbar.

The four goal scorers represent four different NWSL teams (Patterson for the Houston Dash, Coffey for the Portland Thorns, Lavelle for Gotham FC and Thompson for Angel City FC). Claudia Dickey notched a shutout on the other end, though she didn’t face a single shot on target. Ireland has just one goal in 16 meetings with the United States.
More than 18,000 fans were in attendance at the Colorado friendly, and Sunday’s second leg should be just as crowded for Lavelle’s homecoming.
USA vs. Ireland women’s soccer, through the archives
2015: “Abby Wambach scored twice as the United States defeated Ireland, 3-0, on Sunday in an exhibition match in preparation for the Women’s World Cup. A goal by defender Julie Johnston extended her scoring streak to three straight matches. It was the fifth straight shutout for the Americans, and it was Hope Solo’s 83rd in her career with the United States. Wambach added to her career scoring record of 180 goals. Sunday’s match was her 44th with multiple goals.”
2003: “Julie Foudy had a goal and two assists, and Abby Wambach scored her first two goals of the season to lead the United States to a 5-0 victory over Ireland last night in an exhibition match in Salt Lake City. Mia Hamm, who came in as a substitute in the second half, also scored for the United States, which will have three more tuneups before the World Cup this fall. Heather O’Reilly also scored.”
