    I too thought Huerta did not have a good game -- at least, not second half. On the attack, she is good. But she make a couple of significant defensive mental errors towards the end of the game. The obvious one, on the goal scored, was she went for a header she could not get, leaving an attacker unguarded. Her decision to go for the header was an error. But shortly before that, she tried to step in and get a ball, did not get it, and left an attacker again unguarded. Stepping in was another error.

    I suspect she was tired, with the result she made poor decisions. She may need to learn more how to shepherd her energy so she does not get that tired late in a game.
