She ended up having a few more opportunities that were more successful in the bronze medal game.
But they're, yeah, very difficult for them.
But it just goes to show you that the Corinthians were ready to bring it and play their game.
And they did very well all tournament.
We're going to talk about the shots on goal with 20 versus 1 and 9 and 2 there for Corinthians.
But first, let's hear from Jess Carter.
Yeah, I mean, when we talk about a preseason, it's very valuable to have these kind of games, especially with what we just heard from Jess Carter, right?
Not only the rhythm, but a lot of things that they can take away from this game.
Let's start with that stat that really jumps out.
Why was there a lack of offensive production here, Ali?
Well, I think, you know, they were just the semifinal exposed those issues in the final third.
Once again, Jess Carter, you know, hit the nail on the head in saying they weren't clinical enough in front of goal.
Then we saw that, those opportunities being taken advantage of in the bronze medal game where they were actually able to finish and win 4-0.
I think those moments really matter and they have to be more precise in those opportunities because you see Corinthians only having a few chances a game and then they win by scoring one of them, putting them in the back of the net.
So I think defensively there was just that opportunity that Corinthians put away.
But yes, they need to be more clinical in front of goal.
And that's just a step forward for preseason.
I think these are just getting the kinks out, right?
