SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The Americans scored goals in so many ways over the past week. Now it's time to do it on the big stage of World Cup qualifying.Carli Lloyd entered in the second half and immediately scored on a diving header before scoring again in the 93rd minute after a dazzling dribbling sequence for her 102nd career goal, and the U.S. women's national team ran its unbeaten streak to 21 matches by beating Chile 4-0 on Tuesday night in the second exhibition between the countries in five days. kelley ohara jersey Tierna Davidson, a 19-year-old star from the Bay Area who is a junior playing at Stanford, assisted on Heath's goal after scoring her first career goal in a 3-0 win against Chile on Friday night at Carson, California, in her 11th appearance with the national team."I think Chile was a good opponent for us going into the CONCACAF qualifying. I think that they're pretty similar to the teams that we're now going to face that we know of," Lloyd said. "So two good matches, a lot of players got time, we scored some great goals. I think we can go into qualifying confident and ready."Lloyd headed in a goal from just outside the 6-yard box in the 47th minute off Heath's free kick. With her 101st goal for the national team, Lloyd moved into fifth place on the Americans' all-time list, passing Tiffeny Milbrett. rose lavelle jersey "She came in and was a game-changer," said Ellis, who was thrilled to see a balanced effort by her players as "we shared the load, which was important to me."Tobin Heath scored a goal and assisted on two others as U.S. coach Jill Ellis used the friendlies against Chile to mix and match with a variety of veterans and young players. Mallory Pugh scored in the 34th minute on a pass from Heath before Heath scored her 21st career goal four minutes later.Pugh got the Americans on the board with her 12th career goal in a whirlwind sequence after Alex Morgan's penalty kick was stopped by Chilean goalkeeper Christiane Endler. The ball deflected to Endler's right, where Heath secured it and crossed as Pugh scored from a couple of yards out. Chile defender Camila Saez tackled Pugh for the penalty kick.
