The goalkeeper also showed fantastic ability with her feet, finishing the match with a highly impressive pass accuracy of 95%.

This has been a big season for the 22-year-old, but United fans will be worried that she had to leave the pitch in the 37th minute of the match. With United facing big league, cup and Champions League matches this month, international injuries are a headache they could do without. Awujo completed 86% of her passes and forced her teammate in the American goal into a stop with a shot on target. She also had another effort that was blocked by the US defence. The Canadian was also in good form defensively, winning both her ground duels before having to be cruelly forced off. Hinata Miyazawa Earlier in the day, Miyazawa played for Japan in their 2-0 win over Chinese Taipei. She was brought on for the final 23 minutes of the match, completing 69% of her passes. Yes, Hini! 💪🇯🇵 Congrats to our midfielder and Japan, who secured a 2-0 win in their opening #WAC20206 game on Wednesday. https://t.co/LtilGng22q — Manchester United Women (@ManUtdWomen) March 4, 2026 Featured image Ric Tapia via Getty Images The Peoples Person has been one of the world’s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
