- Alex Morgan had a goal disallowed on a controversial offsides call during the USWNT's game against Brazil.
- Moments later, the superstar striker scored a world-class goal in the final seconds of stoppage time.
Alex Morgan scored a world-class goal in the US Women's National Team's final game of the 2023 SheBelieves Cup.
Just moments after she had a goal disallowed on a controversial offsides call, the sensational striker scored soccer's equivalent of a buzzer beater with a left-footed shot that found the back of the net in the final seconds of stoppage time in the first half.
1-0 USA.
—U.S. Women's National Soccer Team (@USWNT) February 23, 2023
Alternate angles of Morgan's goal — her second of 2023 for the Stars and Stripes — show the ball curling through the air seemingly on a trajectory to sail out of bounds. But at what looked to be the last second, the ball bends to the right and sneaks just inside the goalpost.
The USWNT would go on to secure a 2-1 win over Brazil to capture the SheBelieves Cup — the hosts' fourth consecutive first-place finish in the annual domestic tournament. The victory — and Morgan's golazo — will undoubtedly offer the reigning World Cup champions momentum, especially with just a few months separating them from their title defense at the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
