The defending Americans are held to a 0-0 draw by the Dutch champions in the women's football final on Sunday in Lyon, France.

Once is not customary, the Americans did not score in the first twelve minutes as in previous matches.

But the three-time world champions have set the Dutch on fire in the last 20 minutes before the break. The Dutch can thank their goalkeeper Sari van Veenendaal, decisive on a powerful shot by Julie Ertz (27th). If her first post then saved on a center of Megan Rapinoe cut by Alex Morgan (38th), on a shot from the American star, van Veenendaal has again intervened (40th).

Already scorer six times, Morgan will be sure to finish alone at the top of the ranking in case of new achievement.
