HARRISON, N.J. — France and Germany were first to experience the brutal cold during Saturday’s SheBelieves Cup matches, but they at least had the benefit of some sun on the field at Red Bull Arena during the afternoon. Despite the chill, the two teams battled to an entertaining 0-0 draw in front of the crowd willing to brave the elements for both games. France goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi produced a penalty kick save in the first half and was called on plenty in the second, and was a key part of France earning the draw.
