Alex Morgan’s Olympic debut could not have been better.
The Diamond Bar woman continued her torrid scoring streak this year with two goals to lead the United States to a 4-2 victory over France to open the London Games in style after a scare in the first 14 minutes.
Morgan scored a brilliant equalizer in the 31st minute and then tapped in a second-half goal in the 66th minute as the Americans got past their toughest group challenge.
The United States defeated France in the semifinals of the 2011 World Cup in Germany.
