In a rematch of a Women’s World Cup semifinal match, the US Women’s National Team faced Germany on Wednesday in the final of the SheBelieves Cup.

Morgan took a long pass from Meghan Klingenberg and deftly flicked the ball with her left foot over the defender’s head. Before the ball came back down to the ground, Morgan slammed it past the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.
