USA too strong for Ireland in friendly clash
Two goals in each half condemned the Republic of Ireland to a 4-0 defeat against the USA in the first of two friendly meetings. The US, ranked number one in the world, dominated throughout with the 25th-ranked Irish side managing just one shot during the 90 minutes. Advertisement Avery Patterson's first international goal put the hosts in front after 18 minutes in Colorado, Sam Coffey doubling the advantage deep into stoppage time at the end of the first half. Rose Lavelle added a third early in the second half with Alyssa Thompson completing the scoring with a spectacular solo goal just after the hour. Ireland's Emily Murphy did force a sharp save from debutant goalkeeper Claudia Dickey, but the offside flag would have ruled out her half volley. The two sides meet again on Sunday in Cincinnati.

(AP Photo/David Zalubowski) COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Rose Lavelle scored in her first national team match of the year after ankle surgery and the United States defeated Ireland 4-0 on Thursday night. Avery Patterson, Sam Coffey and Alyssa Thompson also scored for the United States. Lavelle last played for the national team in December against the Netherlands. Advertisement Patterson, making her third start for the national team, scored on a header off a short corner from Lavelle in the 18th minute. It was her first international goal. Coffey added a goal before halftime, with a shot that cut across to the far post. It was her third national team goal and second in the last three games. Lavelle made it 3-0 in the 53rd , scoring handily off a well-placed pass from Ally Sentnor. Thompson ran the ball from the center line, danced around a defender and finished with a blast from atop the box in the 63rd. Coach Emma Hayes gave her Europe-based players — including Lindsey Heaps, Catarina Macario and Emily Fox — time off after their seasons. The exception was defender Naomi Girma, who is working her way back from a calf injury. Advertisement Goalkeeper Claudia Dickey, who plays for the Seattle Reign, and Lilly Reale, a defender for Gotham, started for the United States in their national team debuts. The youngest player on the squad, 18-year-old Jordyn Bugg, made her debut as a second-half substitute. Six of the 11 starters had less than 10 appearances with the national team. Lavelle, with 111 appearances on the team, was one of the veterans in the lineup, along with defender Emily Sonnett. The United States has faced Ireland 16 times and never dropped a match. The Irish have scored just one goal against the United States. The United States plays Ireland again on Sunday in Cincinnati, Lavelle's hometown. The team plays Canada on July 2 in Washington, D.C. ___ AP soccer:
