Horan Leads USWNT to Gold Cup Title
Morgan Returns with Goal in Victory
Tournament Marks Return to Dominance for United States
San Diego, Calif. - Lindsey Horan's first-half goal proved to be the difference as the United States Women's National Team (USWNT) defeated Brazil 1-0 to claim the inaugural Concacaf W Gold Cup on Sunday.
The victory marked the USWNT's first major international trophy since winning the World Cup in 2019 and served as a reminder of their continued dominance in women's soccer.
After a tightly-contested first half, Horan broke the deadlock in the 30th minute, taking advantage of a defensive lapse by Brazil to fire home a low shot from the edge of the penalty area.
The victory was also a triumphant return for Alex Morgan, who scored her first goal for the USWNT since returning from maternity leave.
With this victory, the USWNT has now won all four major international women's soccer tournaments (World Cup, Olympic Games, Concacaf W Gold Cup, SheBelieves Cup) since 2015.
The Gold Cup triumph serves as a testament to the depth and talent within the USWNT and cements their status as the world's top women's soccer team.
