In another semifinal match, Canada and Brazil tied 1-1, and then Canada won 4-2. The final match was made between the U.S. and Canada.

The U.S. counterattacked. Jadon Shaw equalized in the 21st minute of the first half. In the 22nd minute of the second half, the U.S. got a penalty kick and Lindsay Horan scored the winning goal to wrap up the match.
The “She Billives Cup,” which is part of the feminist movement, began in 2016. It became a feminist movement when the U.S. national team said at the 2015 World Cup, “Young women can do anything against obstacles in society.”
U.S. national team Alex Morgan said, “We are supporting the LGBTQ community to remain a safe and respected community. But we are not taking any advantage. We just want to raise the alarm in society,” adding to the significance of the competition. 토토사이트
