Tuesday, March 08 2016 by SNTV
  • Alex Morgan scores in stoppage time for USA to beat France 1-0 in the Shebelieves Cup in Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday (6th March).

    The USA faced France on Sunday, in both sides second match of the Shebelieves Cup in Nashville.

    France were looking to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat to Germany in their first match, and they dominated the early stages.

    Carli Lloyd almost deflected the ball into her own net before chaos ensued in the US box.

    Hope Solo made a smart stop with Eugenie La Somme blasting the final chance over the bar.

    The US did play their way back into the game, but France continued to create the better chances.

    Amel Majri hit the crossbar with a fantastic free-kick as the US somehow escaped with their clean sheet still intact.

    Despite having the best chances of the match there was to be a cruel sting in the tail for the French as the US stole victory in the final minute.

    Alex Morgan was the hero for the world champions as she scored to break French hearts.

    So it's two wins in ow for the US whilst France remain without a win at the tournament.
