VILA REAL DE SANTO ANTONIO, Portugal, March 12 (UPI) -- Natasha Kai and Abby Wambach scored goals Wednesday giving the U.S. women's soccer team a 2-1 win over Denmark in the championship game of the Algarve Cup.
Wambach's goal in the game's 50th minute broke a 1-1 tie and enabled the United States to secure its second straight Algarve title and fifth cup championship in six years.
Kai opened the game's scoring, but Denmark, which lost to the United States in the 2007 Algarve Cup final, answered with a goal from Catherine Sorsenson in the 30th minute. That was the only goal U.S. goaltender Hope solo allowed in the tournament.
Norway defeated Germany 2-0 to win the third-place game.
