Watch Highlights: USWNT Earns 4-3 Tournament Of Nations Comeback Win Vs Brazil

The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team scored three goals in nine minutes to secure a 4-3 come-from-behind victory over Brazil in San Diego in a Tournament of Nations game on Sunday.

Julie Ertz — who came on as a second-half substitute — scored the game-winning goal in the 89th minute by firing home a loose ball following a scramble near the net. The 25-year-old defender was playing in her 50th cap, and is using her married name after playing as Julie Johnston.

Brazil scored two minutes into the game, but Samantha Mewis tied it 1-1 in the 18th minute running onto a square pass from Rapinoe at the top of the penalty box and firing a low shot into the left corner for her first goal of 2017 and fifth of her career in 26 caps.

U.S. women’s coach Jill Ellis played with her lineup on Sunday, surprisingly switching Becky Sauerbrunn to a defensive midfielder position rather than her usual spot at center-back.

Canadian-born forward Sydney Leroux of FC Kansas City made her first appearance for the U.S. since June 30, 2015.

The U.S. Women have won just four matches when they’ve allowed an opponent three goals, and have never lost four games at home in a single season.
