The US defeats host France 2-1 to reach the Women's World Cup semifinals
The most anticipated match of this Women's World Cup did not disappoint. In a colossal contest on a balmy summer night in Paris, the US prevailed over host France to move a step closer to successfully defending its title.
Every blockbuster needs a fine storyline and the script for this quarterfinal is one that will stand the test of time because it was Megan Rapinoe -- the USWNT co-captain who had irked US President Donald Trump earlier in the week -- who was the match winner, scoring twice in each half to secure a hard-fought 2-1 win. A knockout tie between arguably the two best teams in the world was always going to send a favorite packing.
