Final
The Netherlands overcame a series of injury setbacks to defeat the United States 2-0 in the 2019 Women’s World Cup Final. The Dutch team had been hit with a number of injuries throughout the tournament, including to key players such as Lieke Martens and Vivianne Miedema. Despite these setbacks, the Netherlands managed to rally together and put in a strong performance in the final.
The Netherlands started the match strongly, and took the lead in the 18th minute when Jackie Groenen scored from outside the box. The US team had a few chances to equalize, but the Dutch defense held firm. The Netherlands then sealed their victory in the second half when Martens scored from the penalty spot.
The victory was a remarkable achievement for the Netherlands, who had not won a major tournament since the European Championships in 2017. It was also a huge disappointment for the US team, who were looking to win their fourth World Cup title.
The Netherlands’ victory was made even more impressive by the fact that they had to overcome a number of injuries throughout the tournament. Martens, Miedema and Shanice van de Sanden all missed parts of the tournament due to injury, but they all managed to return in time for the final.
The victory was a testament to the strength of the Dutch team and their ability to overcome adversity. They showed great resilience and determination to come out on top in the final, and they fully deserved their victory. The Netherlands will now go down in history as the 2019 Women’s World Cup champions.
