Overview
- The U.S. will meet Spain at Subaru Park in Chester, Pa., at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, giving Hayes an immediate opportunity to respond to Saturday’s 2-0 loss.
- Spain scored twice inside the first 14 minutes in Washington, goalkeeper Adriana Nanclares saved Lily Yohannes’ penalty, and a late U.S. goal was disallowed for offside.
- Spain will be without Athenea del Castillo because of a red-card suspension and Aitana Bonmatí because of injury, changes that alter Spain’s attacking options for the rematch.
- Hayes must settle selection and minutes questions with Naomi Girma and Sam Coffey dealing with fitness issues, Mallory Swanson and Ashley Sanchez newly reintroduced, and a possible goalkeeper switch between Phallon Tullis-Joyce and Claudia Dickey.
- This friendly is the U.S. team’s last match before the Concacaf W Championship, a tournament that can secure a 2027 World Cup berth with a quarterfinal win and will shape final roster and tactical choices.
