translated from Spanish: Women’s World Cup France 2019: Us 2-0 batting holland and winning their fourth cup

The United States was crowned for the fourth time as the winner of the Women’s World Cup by defeating the Netherlands 2-0 in a match played on Sunday in Lyon, France.
This is the third consecutive final played by the U.S. team that previously claimed the cup in the 1991, 1999 and 2015 editions.
A penalty charged by Megan Rapinoe and a penalty scored by Rose Lavelle awarded her the win during the second half of the match, after the Dutch defender was inthe first half impassable.
The Netherlands, which holds the European title of this discipline, kept the United States under control during that initial stage thanks to four excellent moves by the archer Sari van Veenendaal.
In addition to opening the scoring, Rapinoe’s goal was to enable the player to claim the golden boot after accumulating six goals and three assists.
Her teammate Alex Morgan, for her part, was recognized with the silver boot.
Sum of records
The performance of the U.S. women’s team in this World Cup allowed the U.S. to ratify its dominance in the sport by becoming, for example, the only one that adds up to four titles (two more than its closest competitors).
Although his team was defeated, Dutch goalkeeper Sari van Veenendaal performed remarkablely.
But there are also other notable records of the tournament:
The forward Rapinoe became the second player in history to start three final matches of the Women’s World Cup (2011, 2015 and 2019), after Germany’s Birgit Prinz (1995, 2003 and 2007).
The United States scored 26 goals and became the most so many team in history during the same championship.
Rapinoe also became the first player to score a penalty in a women’s final, as well as the oldest player in a final (34 years and two days).
Sunday’s match was America’s 12th consecutive World Cup win, which is the best winning streak in the history of this FIFA tournament for both the women’s and men’s categories.
The Dutch team also set a record on Sunday: their archer Sari van Veenendaal made eight saves during the match, the largest number a goalkeeper has ever made in a knockout game throughout this championship.
