BEIJING, China The U.S. had to rally from an early deficit after Japan's Yukari
Kinga opened the scoring in the 16th minute, but Hucles netted the
equalizer from the six-meter (yard) line in the 41st and Lori
Chalupny put the Americans ahead after beating two defenders in the
44th.
Heather O'Reilly added to the lead with a long-range shot in the
70th, and Hucles closed the scoring Monday in the 80th with a
crossing shot that caught Japan goalkeeper Miho Fukumoto by
surprise.
Japan scored again with Eriko Arakawa in injury time.
