The United States became the first team to qualify for the final of the 2019 Women's World Cup on Tuesday, beating England 2-1. Alex Morgan scored the winner, celebrating her 30th birthday in style.
The defending champions took a deserved lead through Christen Press after a flying start, but Ellen White hit back, tying things up after 19 minutes. Morgan restored the lead just past the half-hour mark with a strong header. White had a goal ruled out by the video assistant for a narrow offside call after the break, and Stephanie Houghton missed a penalty.
