Swanson scores late as U.S. women draw 2-2 with Spain in friendly

In a women's international friendly, the U.S. women's national team drew 2-2 with Spain in Chester, Pennsylvania, on October 13, 2026. After falling behind 2-0 with goals from Alexia Putellas and Salma Paralluelo, the U.S. rallied in the second half. Ashley Sanchez scored first to cut the deficit, and Mallory Swanson equalized with a volley in the 86th minute, marking her first goal for the national team since the Tokyo Olympics in 2024. This result prevents the U.S. from suffering a fourth loss in 2026 and sets the stage for a Concacaf W Championship match against El Salvador on November 27, which is also a World Cup qualifier.
