The U.S. women’s national team battled to earn a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands in a match that served as the first true test of the Americans’ potential to win a third consecutive Women’s World Cup title.
The reigning champions went down early after Jill Roord’s 17th-minute goal but made up the difference in the 62nd minute when Lindsey Horan scored her second goal of the tournament. It was a match full of ups and downs as the USWNT attack was not at its best but improved as the match went on. The American defense, meanwhile, bolstered its case as the backbone of the team’s title defense.
