The game, played in front of 53,341 spectators at a packed BC Place, was described as the highest-scoring Women’s World Cup final ever, and an entertaining finale to what has been an excellent tournament.
US women’s team Head Coach, Jill Ellis and players reflected on their World Cup victory against the defending champions, Japan.
Ellis said that she had to pinch herself to make sure she was not dreaming after the team stunned Japan 5 goals to 2.
Lloyd, who did the magic, labelled the win as a historic performance that handed the US ladies their third World Cup and first since 1999.
