BREAKING: U.S. women's soccer team wins 2019 FIFA World Cup over Netherlands
Sunday’s win at Stade de Lyon in France marked the team’s second consecutive World Cup victory and its 12th consecutive win in World Cup matches. This sets a new record for consecutive wins after the U.S. broke the previous record that it set during Tuesday’s victory over England.
The final match went scoreless during the first half, which saw the U.S. largely maintaining possession of the ball. The U.S. had previously scored a goal within the first 12 minutes of every World Cup match this year. The game’s first goal was made by Megan Rapinoe, who wore the captain’s armband, around the 61-minute mark during a penalty shot. The penalty kick followed Alex Morgan getting hit on her shoulder by Stefanie van der Gragt, who was given a yellow card.
The second goal was scored roughly seven minutes later by Rose Lavelle, who has scored three times in her first World Cup. Rapinoe has scored six goals in this tournament. She missed last week’s semifinal against England because of a slight hamstring strain. Lavelle left the semifinal in the 65th minute for the same reason.The Women’s World Cup Was Always Going To Be Megan Rapinoe’s MomentMegan Rapinoe Says 'Not Many If Any' Teammates Would Go To White HouseThis article originally appeared on HuffPost.
