The US women’s national team held the Netherlands to a 1-1 draw at Sky Stadium in Wellington, New Zealand as goals from Jill Roord and Lindsey Horan earned each side a point.
The Oranje secured the early lead with their first shot of the game, breaking down the midfield all too easily before Roord rocketed the ball through Horan’s legs inside the box to reach the lower left corner.
Sloppy defending by the backline forced the USWNT to trail at the World Cup for the first time in 18 matches, last falling behind in the 2011 quarter final against Brazil.
Any momentum the American side…
