Stop the press — because Costa Rica couldn’t.
Behind two goals from Christen Press, the United States women’s national soccer team defeated Costa Rica, 6-0, on Monday night.
With the result, the North Americans have won Group A of the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Tournament. Despite the result, La Sele finished in second place and also earned a spot in the semifinals.
The tournament’s two finalists will qualify to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
Press scored twice in the first 40 minutes as the North Americans opened up a 3-0 lead before halftime. The first goal, in the fourth minute, was a true golazo.
😱Take a bow Christen Press!!!
