It was an interesting set of games for the USWNT in October. The Americans opened with a surprising loss to Portugal, only to gain some redemption with a 3-1 victory over the same Portuguese team and a 6-0 drubbing of New Zealand.

Hayes' commitment to the trial period is steadfast, to the point that 25 different players have earned their first cap since she started the job in June 2024, outdoing herself on Wednesday by piecing together the least experienced USWNT lineup in 25 years with an average of 17.

The USWNT vs Portugal match will kick off at 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT in the United States. The match will start at 7 p.m. local time in Chester, Pennsylvania, at Subaru Park. The match will be shown on a couple of TV channels and through streaming services in the U.S. The match will be broadcast in English and Spanish.

It was one-way traffic for Emma Hayes, who started a young lineup that was determined to dominate from start to finish

Olivia Moultrie notched two goals, giving her four in 10 USWNT caps, while Emma Sears delivered a hat-trick. Meanwhile, Cat Macario had a fantastic window and looks to be past the injuries that have held her back in recent years.

The surprising loss to Portugal by the U.S. women's national team came from players who admit they were "on islands" and "trying to fix it on their own."

Similar to the USWNT, this will be New Zealand’s third game in less than a week. The Football Ferns played a pair of matches against Mexico, losing both. They lost the first match 1-0 last Thursday, before falling 2-0 on Sunday. New Zealand has just three games left before the start of qualifying for the 2027 World Cup begins next February.
