Alex Morgan's iconic career came to a close on Sunday after she announced on Thursday that she would be retiring following the San Diego Wave FC's matchup against the North Carolina Courage.

Morgan played for 13 minutes, matching her number, before being subbed out of the match. The plan was always for her to play limited minutes.

She had the chance to go out in incredible fashion, with the opportunity to score on a penalty kick before leaving the contest, but her effort was saved.
