2-ranked U.S.
women's national team rallied to a 2-2 draw against No.
1-ranked Spain in Tuesday night's friendly in Chester, Pa.
Swanson's 39th international goal, and her first since scoring the winner in the 2024 Olympic final, followed Ashley Sanchez's strike earlier in the second half as the U.S.
avoided its first back-to-back losses since defeats to England and Spain in Europe in 2022.
Alexia Putellas scored one goal and assisted another in her 150th international appearance for Spain, which again led 2-0 at halftime but, unlike Saturday's victory over the U.S.
in Washington, failed to preserve its advantage.
Salma Paralluelo also scored before the break for the visitors, who will defend their first women's World Cup title in Brazil in 2027.
Spanish goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez made an exceptional diving stop deep in second-half stoppage time to keep out Lily Yohannes' deflected effort from the edge of the box and preserve the draw.
