U.S. women’s national team star Alex Morgan scored an absolute stunner in the final moments of the first half in Wednesday’s clash with Brazil.
WHAT HAPPENED? Morgan’s incredible finish came in stoppage time, having previously seen a goal ruled off for offside just moments prior. After Mallory Swanson was denied in the box, the ball fell to Morgan, who took a touch before curling a picturesque finish into the back of the net to give the USWNT the lead.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: With the goal, Morgan now has 14 goals since giving birth to her daughter, Charlie. That makes her the USWNT’s highest-scoring mom, adding yet another accolade to Morgan’s illustrious career while moving the U.S. one step closer to lifting the SheBelieves Cup.
WHAT NEXT FOR USWNT? The U.S. are on the road towards the World Cup this summer, where they will face Vietnam, the Netherlands and Portugal in the group stage.
