Sophia Smith scored in the 64th minute and the United States got revenge for a loss to Mexico earlier this year with a 1-0 victory in the rematch on Saturday.

The friendly match at Red Bull Arena was the first of two tuneup games for the United States ahead of the 2024 Olympics. The Americans will play Costa Rica on Tuesday at Audi Field in Washington before departing for France.

Mexico beat the United States for just the second time ever at the Concacaf Women's Gold Cup in late February. Lizbeth Ovalle and Mayra Pelayo scored in a 2-0 Mexico victory.

On Saturday, the United States had the best chances of the first half but was unable to break through. Smith, Lindsey Horan and Sam Coffey all had attempts in the scramble in front of Mexico's goal before the half ended, but couldn't score.

But in the second half, Trinity Rodman passed to Mallory Swanson, who appeared ready to shoot but instead dished the ball to Smith for her 20th career goal. Smith nearly got a second goal in the 73rd minute, but her attempt hit the near post.

"We have such dynamic players up front, I think we can create in so many ways. I should have put away a few more to begin with, and I hold myself to a higher standard than that," Smith said. "I think myself and us want more, we can definitely put more away, but it shows the different ways we are creating and working together."

The United States has not conceded a goal in three matches under new coach Emma Hayes.

The game celebrated the 25th anniversary of the "The 99ers," the team that won the 1999 Women's World Cup at the Rose Bowl. It was the first time all 20 players of the team were reunited.

Alyssa Naeher, the U.S. captain for Saturday's match, was honored on the field before the game for her 100th appearance with the national team. She earned the cap back in March.

"It just means a lot to me," Naeher said. "I've been on this scene for a long time and I think even seeing this weekend with the 99ers here, and having played with some of those guys, and now getting the opportunity to play with the next generation is something really cool and special to me."

Lynn Williams came into the match in the 75th minute. Williams was originally one of four alternates to the 18-player U.S. Olympic roster, but forward Catarina Macario is unable to play in France because of knee irritation. Hayes announced on Friday that Williams would be replacing Macario.

Croix Bethune made her first appearance for the United States in the 81st minute.
