The 2019 final of the Women's International Champions Cup seemed like it was set to be a goal-filled thriller.
The three other games of the tournament had a combined seven goals scored and this final was between two of the best teams in women's soccer. The North Carolina Courage have been in the past two NWSL championship games and beat the Portland Thorns to earn the title last season while Lyon is one of the most fearsome teams in all of world soccer, employing superstars from all over the world.
What played out Sunday night in North Carolina was a show of both team's strengths, as they showed plenty going forward but Lyon was just a bit more clinical, with Dzsenifer Marozsan's wonderful curler from outside the box being the difference in the French team's 1-0 win.
