U.S. rallies to forge tie with England

Tobin Heath scored off her own rebound in the 67th minute, and the United States tied visiting England, 2-2, in Nashville, Tenn. in the SheBelieves Cup for the Americans’ second draw in two games in the tournament.

The Americans nearly pulled out a victory. Julie Ertz’s header went off the bar at the end of the 77th minute, and they had a flurry of passes deep without a shot on net.

The U.S. now is 10-4-2 all-time against England, though the teams avoided the 1-0 score of their past four meetings. The Americans had won three of those, and Saturday they wore the names of women who have inspired them on the back of their shirts.

Japan beat Brazil 3-1 in the doubleheader in the second part of this roundrobin tournament featuring four of the world’s top 10 teams. This was a tuneup for the Women’s World Cup, which starts June 7 in France.
