On the morning of July 27, the US women's team will compete with the Netherlands women's team in the second match of Group E of the 2023 World Cup. This is a match between two teams that won their opening matches.

In this match, the US was rated higher than the Netherlands, so it was not surprising that the defending champion pressed the opponent right from the opening whistle. Demelo missed the opportunity to score the opening goal in the 10th minute.

Despite pressing, the US conceded a goal from a Dutch counterattack in the 17th minute by Roord.

After falling behind, the US fought back strongly to find an equalizer. In difficult times, the US women's team showed the character and class of a 4-time World Cup champion team. They scored the equalizer 1-1 in the 62nd minute. Lindsey Horan headed the ball into the net of the Netherlands after a corner kick.

Lindsey Horan's equalizer added to the excitement of the match. The U.S. women's team put a lot of pressure on the Netherlands and created many scoring opportunities. The U.S. and the Netherlands played back-and-forth, creating some good chances, but neither side could capitalize.

In the end, the US and the Netherlands tied 1-1. After two matches, both teams have 4 points, but the US women's team still tops Group E due to a better goal difference. The Netherlands is ranked second but has a good chance of advancing to the group stage, because they will face the Vietnamese women's team in the final match. The US will likely have to play a "final" with Portugal to determine the remaining ticket./.
