Sophia Smith (9/10):

What a player. Smith was magnificent in this one, marking her World Cup debut with a dominant display as she scored twice and set up another. The U.S. will likely get goals from all over this summer, but Smith may just be the Golden Boot candidate in this kind of form.


Naomi Girma (7/10):

She makes it look so easy, doesn't she? Wasn't challenged much defensively, as expected, but she was so smooth on the ball when given the chance to push things forward.

FW Sophia Smith, 8 -- Expectations were high for Smith entering the tournament and she largely delivered, taking her goals well. While she wasn't at her best in terms in terms of link-up play, she made the plays that mattered, including the assist on Horan's crucial third goal.

DF Naomi Girma, 8 -- Cool and composed on the ball, and used her pace well to snuff out what few attacks Vietnam could muster. Her long diagonal passes created problems for Vietnam, creating the scramble prior to Smith's second goal.

MF Andi Sullivan, 6 -- Kept the U.S. attack ticking over and won the ball back when she needed to. Led the team with 16 defensive interventions.

DF Kelley O'Hara, N/R (on for Dunn, 84") -- The veteran got on the field for a late cameo and a rugged tackle.
