Goal Scoring Rundown:

USA – Tobin Heath (Christen Press), 16th minute: Lloyd showed great strength to push through two defenders about 30 yards from the goal and poked the ball to Samantha Mewis, who spun with a few touches and then sent a pass wide left to Press. The Utah Royals forward lifted a first-time cross to the back post for the streaking Heath to run under and she headed home from closer range with the goalkeeper closing in. USA 1, IRE 0 [WATCH]

USA – Lindsey Horan (Samantha Mewis), 31st minute: Tobin Heath carried the ball from middle of the field into the right side of the penalty box before being turned back by a swath of defenders. She dropped the ball back to Mewis who drove a grass-cutter through the penalty area toward the left post where Horan beat her defender to tap the ball into the wide-open net. USA 2, IRE 0 [WATCH]

USA – Carli Lloyd (Kelley O’Hara), 41s minute: The U.S. worked the ball into the Ireland final third and then wide right to O’Hara. She created space against her defender to serve a cross into the middle of the box that Lloyd met between two defenders to loop an elegant header over the goalkeeper into the right side of the goal. USA 3, IRE 0 [WATCH] FINAL
