Carli Lloyd and Kelley O’Hara both scored in the second half to put the United States into the Women’s soccer World Cup final with a 2-0 victory over top-ranked Germany.
Wearing the captain’s armband, Lloyd got the first on 69 minutes from a penalty kick with defender O’Hara scoring her first-ever goal for the Americans six minutes from time yesterday.
Germany’s Celia Sasic, the tournament’s top scorer with six goals, missed a penalty on 60 minutes that was awarded after Julie Johnston pulled down Alexandra Popp in the box. Sasic send the shot low and just wide of Hope Solo in the US goal. And six minutes later, Alex Morgan also missed a chance to break the deadlock when she sent the ball just wide.
