Full throttle heavyweight clash ends in shared spoils; USA 1-1 Netherlands

Reacquainted 2019 finalists USA (winners) and the Netherlands (runners-up) produced a thrilling, advocational display de force and class in a much hyped billing that failed to disappoint. 

Overall, the Dutch probably dodged defeat and were made to grind out a draw against the exponentially aggressive champions. USA dominated the second half, though second best in the first, able to balance the scoresheet with a privy and powerful set-piece seeing States captain Lindsey Horan connect with a thunderous header at the near post.

Alex Morgan had a goal disallowed, correctly, for a fractional offside and whilst USA peppered the Dutch defense with a litany of corners late on; steadfast the Dutch remained.
