It was the second of two games against Colombia as both teams prepare for World Cup qualifying in July. The U.S. will try for a third straight World Cup title next summer in Australia and New Zealand.

The Americans went ahead on an own goal from Colombia's Manuela Vanegas off a cross from U.S. right back Sofia Huerta. It was the fifth own goal from a U.S. opponent this year.

O'Hara, a veteran defender, scored her third international goal and first since 2016.

"The takeaways were that we do have a very good team and that we found a way to get goals in different ways," U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski said. "Even though today I would say it was not our best performance, we still managed to score goals and get off the field successfully."
