USWNT beats Netherlands 2-1 in goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher’s final match

Associated Press  

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Alyssa Naeher ended her national team career with one last win. “I definitely wasn’t thinking about it during the game, just wanted to win the game and do what I could to come away with the ‘W’ for us to close out the year,” Naeher said. She was in goal when the United States defeated the Netherlands 2-0 in the 2019 Women’s World Cup final. “I feel like I’ve given everything I have to give for this team and that’s why I feel at peace with that.” The Netherlands took the lead on center back Veerle Buurman’s header off a corner kick in the 15th minute. Naeher slid to stop Danielle van de Donk’s shot in the 69th minute before Williams, a second-half substitute, scored her fourth goal of the year and 21st of her career.
