Emma Hayes witnessed a dominant display from her players at a packed Wembley stadium, but the U.S. coach could not taste victory on her return to England.

Defensively, the U.S. kept the Lionesses at bay mostly through a stranglehold on possession combined with an organized structure. When that structure did break down, the likes of Casey Krueger, Naomi Girma and the Emilys — Fox and Sonnett — were there to put out fires.

Saturday’s friendly match between the England Lionesses and the US Women’s National Team (USWNT) is much anticipated for a number of reasons, but it holds extra significance for Emma Hayes.
