GOAL SCORING RUNDOWN:
USA – Madeline Dahlien (Onyeka Gamero), 10th minute: Midfielder Jasmine Aikey played a long ball from deep in midfield to forward Onyeka Gamero on the right flank, where she displayed fancy footwork to get out of pressure toward the end line and sent a cross into the box. Dahlien then finished on her first touch from five yards out to open the scoring. USA 1, JAM 0
USA – Madeline Dahlien (Onyeka Gamero), 47th minute: A great run of combination play by the USA found Gamero on the right flank. She took a touch to create space and sent a cross into the box where Dahlien finished from seven yards out with a header into the lower right corner just beyond the ‘keeper’s reach to double the lead. USA 2, JAM 0
USA – Tessa Dellarose, 49th minute: Jamaica cleared a dangerous USA cross in the heart of their box, but Dellarose ran onto the loose ball and fired a powerful, left-footed strike across the face of goal to finish inside the far post from 26 yards out. USA 3, JAM 0
USA – Madeline Dahlien (Ally Sentnor), 79th minute: Sentnor found Dahlien on a diagonal run into the box with a brilliant pass that split two defenders. Dahlien then took a touch and slotted the ball past the goalkeeper with the outside of her right foot from 13 yards out to complete her hat trick in her very first appearance for a U.S. Women’s Youth National Team. USA 4, JAM 0
