Women's World Cup:USA Retains Title

comments
5 months ago / Sports  
USA made history by becoming just the second nation to defend the Women's World Cup with a 2-0 victory over the Netherlands in the final in Lyon on Sunday.

Captain Megan Rapinoe set the US on their way with her sixth goal at the tournament, breaking 61 minutes of the Dutch resistance, when she converted a VAR-awarded penalty after Alex Morgan was caught in the area by Stefanie van der Gragt's raise boot. 

Rose Lavelle then wrapped up the victory, capping a fine tournament on a personal level as she slalomed through the Dutch defense and fired a brilliant solo effort beyond the inspired Sari van Veenendaal.

 

Victory sees Jill Ellis' side deliver a record fourth World Cup title, four years on from their third triumph in Canada in 2015, and become the first side since Germany in 2009 to triumph at back-to-back tournaments It took USA until just before the half-hour mark to register their first notable attempt on target, Julia Ertz reacting quickest to the second ball at a corner and stinging the palms of Van Veenendaal.

The USA captain's goal - her sixth of the tournament - drew her level with Alex Morgan and Ellen White in the top scorer charts but she won the Golden Boot due to the fact she played fewer minutes than Morgan in the tournament.
