U.S. Women Honor Alex Morgan, Then Fall to Portugal at Subaru Park

Portugal ended an eight-game winless streak by overcoming an early US goal with two second-half scores, handing coach Emma Hayes her third loss with the USWNT.

  • On October 23, 2025, the U.S. women’s national team lost 2-1 to the Portugal women’s national team in Chester, Pennsylvania, despite Rose Lavelle scoring in the opening minute.
  • Portugal’s set-piece delivery paid off when Diana Gomes headed an unmarked corner kick past the U.S. keeper, with Portugal controlling 58 percent possession in the first half.
  • After the break, the U.S. pressed harder but Fatima Pinto scored a deflected winner past Phallon Tullis-Joyce for her fifth goal in 96 caps.
  • Hayes’ record now shows just three defeats since she was hired in 2024, with the U.S. facing Portugal again on Sunday.
  • After a 113-day layoff, the U.S. missed key player Trinity Rodman, who attended Alex Morgan’s celebration but did not play due to a knee ligament sprain.
