The USWNT thought it had grabbed the lead over the Netherlands just minutes following the equalizer. Trinity Rodman sent a perfect through ball to Alex Morgan, who got behind the Netherlands' defense. Morgan found the back of the net with a smooth one-touch finish, but the play was called offside.

Horan's set-piece score came after the USWNT faced its first World Cup deficit since 2011. The Netherlands' Jill Roord opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a clinical finish from just inside the box.
