Lindsey Horan scraps for possession with Victoria Pelova during the 1-1 draw between the USA and the Netherlands on Thursday. Horan scored her team's second-half equaliser.WELLINGTON - Captain Lindsey Horan scored a second-half equaliser as holders the United States came from behind to draw 1-1 with the Netherlands at the Women's World Cup on Thursday, in a rematch of the 2019 final between the teams.
However, US skipper Horan responded in the second half as the Americans maintained their unbeaten record at the World Cup since losing the 2011 final on penalties to Japan."But I think we fixed things right away, the pressure we got on and the amount of chances and opportunities that we did." Horan's equalising goal from substitute Rose Lavelle's corner came moments after a flashpoint between the US midfielder and her Lyon teammate Danielle van de Donk."Once we got to that tackle, all I wanted to do was score. Heat of the moment, but Rose put in an absolute dime and I got on the end of it."
Having opened with a 1-0 win over Portugal, the ninth-ranked Dutch looked like repeating that result when Roord struck smartly in the 17th minute.
