HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Lauren Cheney has scored in stoppage time to give the U.S. women’s team a 1-0 victory over Mexico in a final tuneup before the women’s World Cup.

The Americans dominated Sunday’s match through 90 minutes, but were unable to score until Cheney unleashed a 25-yard blast in the first minute of stoppage time at Red Bull Arena.

Abby Wambach had the assist on the goal in her 157th international game.

The warmup win was the third straight for the U.S., which takes an eight-day break before resuming practice for its World Cup opener against North Korea in Dresden, Germany, on June 28.
