The United States won 1-0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The second match day of the 2026 SheBelieves Cup went down on Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio, and it was filled with close games. The day started with Colombia defeating Argentina 1-0 and finished with the United States beating Canada 1-0. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sentnor\u2019s second half goal is game changer<\/h2>\n<p>In the second game of the day, the United States beat Canada 1-0. Ally Sentnor scored the game\u2019s only goal, finding the back of the net in the 55th minute on a play that began with a Rose Lavelle corner kick.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>This game featured a more seasoned starting lineup than Sunday\u2019s, and the experience seemed to make the difference as the U.S. was able to hold onto a tight lead over a truly tough competitor. Alongside Lavelle and Sentnor, strong performances came from Naomi Girma, who held down the defensive line; Phallon Tullis-Joyce, who displayed confidence in the net, and Alyssa Thompson, who had two strong attempts on goal, though both were saved by Canadian keeper Kailen Sheridan. <\/p>\n<p>The U.S. has now won two games in the SheBelieves Cup and is in a great position to win the entire tournament come Sunday\u2019s game. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caicedo lifts Colombia over Argentina <\/h2>\n<p>In a game with precisely 50-50 ball possession, it was a lone goal from Colombia\u2019s Linda Caicedo in the 64th minute that lifted her team over Argentina to secure the win in day 2 of the SheBelieves cup. This was Colombia\u2019s first result of the tournament after losing 4-1 to Canada on Sunday, the tournament\u2019s opening day. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>It was a tight and low-scoring match, with neither side breaking through in the first half. Halfway through the second half, the dynamic Caicedo was able to convert a setup from teammate Leicy Santos and find the back of the net. Argentina couldn\u2019t equalize and has now lost two straight games in the SheBelieves tournament. <\/p>\n<p>On Sunday\u2019s final match day, Colombia will face the United States and Argentina will take on Canada.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--mvp-post-tags--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--posts-nav-link--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mvp-org-wrap\" itemprop=\"publisher\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n<div class=\"mvp-org-logo\" itemprop=\"logo\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/equalizersoccer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/equalizerWhite-1.png\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/equalizersoccer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/equalizerWhite-1.png\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-logo--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Equalizer Soccer\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-wrap-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/equalizersoccer.com\/2026\/03\/04\/shebelieves-cup-2026-highlights-from-matchday-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United States midfielder Sam Coffey (17) and defender Naomi Girma (4) celebrate a goal by forward Ally Sentnor (9) during the SheBelieves Cup against Canada at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus on March 4, 2026.
