Alyssa Thompson scored her first goal for the United States women’s national team and Jaedyn Shaw and Sophia Smith scored late on Thursday at Q2 Stadium as the Americans defeated Iceland 3-1.
Colombia topped Group H, the pick of their performances being the stunning 2-1 defeat of Germany. Jamaica are also surprise packages, having finished runners-up in Group F ahead of Brazil. Neither team has previously reached the quarterfinals of a Women’s World Cup.
