SYDNEY—After 21 years since last playing in Australia, the United States women’s soccer team needed only 24 seconds to score against the Matildas on Saturday.

Turns out that was all the new-look American side needed in a 3–0 win at Sydney’s Olympic stadium before a Matildas-record crowd of 36,109.
