US women erase two-goal deficit to tie World Cup champion Spain

CHESTER, Pa. — Spain forward Salma Paralluelo extended her arms wide like airplane wings Tuesday night, much to the dislike of the U.S. crowd. Five minutes after its first goal, Paralluelo had doubled Spain’s lead on the U.S. women’s national team. Alexia Putellas had scored the first goal then recorded the assist on the second. It felt like a similar script to the U.S. women’s national team’s 2-0 loss to Spain just three days prior. But the Americans showed in the second half that they can, in fact, punch back.
