United States of America has won the 2019 women’s world cup tournament final match which took place in France on Sunday.
The US captain, Megan Rapinoe, who wasn’t expected to start Sunday’s Women’s World Cup final because of a hamstring issue, wound up winning it instead, calmly slotting home a penalty kick in the 61st minute to start the US on its way to a 2-0 win over a stubborn team from the Netherlands before a sellout crowd at Stade de Lyon.
With this win, the US becomes just the second team to win consecutive Women’s World Cups and the first country to win the title four times.
