Four years after the World Cup won in Canada, the reigning United States champions return to the world final to defend the throne, thanks to the success in the semi-final against England, won 2-1 in Lyon. In the second semifinal, scheduled on Wednesday evening again in Lyon, to play for the other place in the final will be the Netherlands, which eliminated the Italians, and Sweden.
The United States took the lead after ten minutes with a network from Christien Press, who unlocked Kelly O'Hara's right-wing cross. At 19', the English striker Ellen White gave the equaliser with good turn on the ball in the corner which arrived from the left by Beth Mead. The response of the other World Cup bomber, Alex Morgan, was not long in coming, and she was also on the sixth goal in France 2019, with a fine header from Lindsay Horan's 31st-minute cross.
In the 23rd minute of the second half, the goal was canceled with Var again to White for offside on Scott's pass. Var again on 83 minutes got a penalty kick for a foul by Sauerbrunn on White, but from the spot Houghton kicks badly, for an easy save by the American Naeher. The curtain for the English drops to 86 ', when ten remain due to the expulsion of Millie Bright, to the second yellow for a high-leg contrast on Alex Morgan.
