Alyssa Thompson scored the only goal as the United States clinched the SheBelieves Cup women's football invitational tournament on Saturday with a 1-0 defeat of Colombia.
Chelsea forward Thompson curled a superb strike into the top corner in the 82nd minute to settle a contest the US women had dominated at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey.
The victory ensured Emma Hayes' squad finished the four-team round robin tournament with a maximum nine points from three games after earlier wins over Argentina and Canada.
Saturday's win completed a successful campaign for US manager Hayes and her players as they build towards the 2027 Women's World Cup.
Hayes, one of the most successful managers in English football history, took over as US coach in 2024 following the team's early 2023 World Cup exit.
She led the US to a gold medal at the Paris Olympics and is now firmly focused on helping the American women regain their global crown at next year's finals in Brazil.
