Wilson constantly threatened the Brazilian defense with her dribbling skills, helping the visiting side assert control midway through the second half.

Facing heavy pressure from Isadora Haas on the right flank, Wilson successfully split Haas and Aline Gomes before driving toward the top of the penalty arc.

Her subsequent low shot deflected off Chagas, leaving Lorena completely wrong-footed with no time to react.

The United States nearly doubled their advantage just three minutes later during a quick transition play.

Olivia Moultrie found herself one-on-one with Lorena but saw her low effort strike the left post.

Wilson generated the first dangerous opportunity for the visitors in the 20th minute.

She cut inside from the left flank and unleashed a shot that forced Lorena into a lunging save.

Lorena kept the hosts level during first-half stoppage time by executing a spectacular double save.

She denied Emma Sears with her right hand and quickly recovered to smother Wilson's follow-up attempt with her left.
