USWNT vs. Spain: Key takeaways from a gutsy battle in Pennsylvania

CHESTER, Penn. — The United States Women's National Team drew 2-2 to Spain in Chester, Penn., in the second of its two matches against the defending world champions. An easy tap-in from Alexia Putellas and a mind-bending — and crossbar-bending — shot from Salma Paralluelo handed Spain a 2-0 lead before halftime, but a 49th-minute goal from Ashley Sanchez brought the USWNT back into the match and an 86th-minute strike from Mallory Swanson leveled the game for good. On paper, the USWNT couldn't help but call up North Carolina Courage striker Ashley Sanchez.
