Alex Morgan gives U.S. the lead over Colombia with fortunate second half goal, It was dodgy in the early-going for the United States Women’s National team. The first half was pockmarked with missed chances and a couple near-misses and scares from the Colombian attack. Megan Rapinoe picked up her second yellow and won’t be available for the quarterfinal should the Americans make it there.
Then, in the second half, this happened.
Alex Morgan sneaked one in at the near post to give the U.S. the lead.

Soon after, Megan Rapinoe drew a penalty, and Carli Lloyd converted from the spot to make it 2-0.
