ICC: What North Carolina Courage loss means for women’s game

The second annual International Champions Cup ended with European giants Olympique Lyonnais defeating previous champions North Carolina Courage 1-0 at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina.

This year’s edition consisted of European champions Lyon, NWSL champions North Carolina, FA Cup champions Manchester City, and Primera División champions Atletico Madrid.

Lyon took on Atletico Madrid to kick off the tournament with a 1-0 victory. That set up a final against the North Carolina Courage, who recovered from a goal down in the dying stages to beat Man.
