The Americans took the lead within a minute of kickoff, but the Europeans came away with the surprising result

Emma Hayes has once again dug deep into the USWNT player pool as the U.S. women commence international play for the first time since June with a trio of October international friendlies against Portugal and New Zealand.

The USWNT came out more aggressive in the second half in search of the go-ahead, but it was Portugal's Fátima Pinto that scored instead, with her deflected shot beating Tullis-Joyce to give the visitors a surprise lead. Portugal held on for the win to hand Hayes just the third defeat during her tenure as U.S. coach.
