USA 1-1 Japan at the end of regulation, Japan wins in penalty kicks!



Alex Morgan scored a great goal for the US to take a 1-0 lead. But a series of mistakes by the US defenders allowed Japan to even up the score at 1-1. Even though the US dominated this game, Japan fought very hard to stay in the game.

Now they will go to a 30 minute extra time session.

Another beautiful header by Wambach to give the US a 2-1 lead!

Big congratulations to Japan! They fought with their hearts!
