The U19 National ODP Team won the second game of its tour of Germany. This time the score was 5-1 against 2nd Division team Magdeburger FFC.

The U19s switched to a 4-3-3 formation for the game, and while the formation was different the quality of the performance was identical to the first game. Magdeburger was a stronger team than Siegen, but the U19s maintained 65-70% of the possession, and scored 5 great goals. The biggest difference between the two games, was that the outside backs were able to join in the attack much more frequently (a main focus of the trip) with the right back scoring a goal and the left back getting an assist.

The game followed the attendance at the USA-Colombia World Cup game, and was immediately followed by attendance at the Brazil-Norway game. Tomorrow’s program includes a visit to the US Women’s National Team training sessions, and a meet and greet with the players and coaching staff which promises to be a real highlight of the trip.
