Ciudad Juarez, Mexico (My Sportsbook) - The U.S. Women's national team got two goals from Natasha Kai and one from Abby Wambach in a 3-1 victory over Mexico in front of a sold-out crowd of 22,280 at the Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez on Sunday. The victory gave the USA first place in Group A at the 2008 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament and a semifinal match against Group B runner-up Costa Rica on Wednesday for a berth in the 2008 Olympics. Canada, which defeated Costa Rica, 1-0, earlier in the final match of Group B will face Mexico in the other semifinal. The winner of that match will earn CONCACAF's second berth to the Olympics.
