USA v Japan | 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup Final | Full Match

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] any combination of the four semi-finalists would have made a worthy final here in Vancouver but it was the United States of America and Japan who prevailed in their last four fixtures and so we have a repeat of the final from four years ago in Frankfurt the United States want revenge for that defeat Japan desperate to win the World Cup for a second time and if they were to do so they would join the United States and Germany as the only countries to have won two Women's World Cups the united states are unchanged so it's the same team that started the semi-final victory over Germany captain Carli Lloyd has scored three goals so far and has been player of the match in the last three u.s. games as for Megan Rapinoe she's 30 today no prizes for guessing what she wants most of all on her birthday six of this eleven were involved in the final four years ago and six of this team have started every single match here in Canada solo Sabra and Lloyd Johnston and Klingenberg I am a Yama they're on the right Carli Lloyd on the left Catalina Bonsall from Ukraine is referee [Music] like the USA Japan are also unchanged it's the same team that started their semi final win over England sake Kumagai scored the winning penalty against the USA four years ago eight of this team played in that final but only captain ima Armour and striker Yukio shimmy have begun every match for Japan at this world cup seven different players have scored here in Canada but only Miami has more than one goal the skipper with two to her credit [Music] Japan start they 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup final it's the first time that two countries have competed in successive Women's World Cup finals Japan with victories in all six of their matches here in Canada all by a single goal the USA haven't conceded a goal for 513 minutes and they've made a bright start here cleared away by Ally Yoshi 5 clean sheets in a row for the United States only Australia's Lisa de vana has found a way past them le touch for Kumagai Johnston Cory will keep the ball in play the Japanese goalkeeper who saved penalties in the shootout four years ago from Shannon box and turban Heath box who was on the bench today Tobin Heath in the starting eleven for the USA for eclairs dismissed on the far side by hate followed by my Yama I've been bound by og me [Music] both coaches said that they would like to start this match in a very positive fashion Meghan Klingenberg was impressed many left back for the United States in this tournament is Rapinoe 30 years of age to today chance at a shot possibly from distance there from Brian but she decided against it his Krieger taken down by Brian three in the middle waiting to get on the end of the cross and the United States server corner the first of this final [Applause] ralina getting a huge chair from the the USA fans down in that corner just knees forward brian is there as well Rapinoe 'he's driven ball in [Applause] [Music] loyd the captain a self-satisfied smile on the face of the coach much much more than that on the faces of the thousands of USA fans inside PC place the corner driven in low and look at the run here from Lloyd arriving late unable to divert it past chaotic it's a fourth goal of this world cut and it is put the United States ahead in the final [Applause] well while we were watching those slow-motion replays I can tell you that Japan held an emergency meeting amongst the players there was a huddle inside their own half USA get a free kick there are 50 states in the United States of America and think this afternoon there's a 51st it's this stadium here in Vancouver because the supporters in here are overwhelmingly favoring the USA Japan not only having to face the 11 players on the pitch the crowd as well fervent enforce if Aris in their support of their team [Applause] Lauren holiday will take this three kick 20 in the middle to aim for flick from Johnston and it's turned in for a second it's Carli Lloyd again the defending world champions funding their titles slipping away from them early on here in Vancouver you couldn't have written that start the touch on from johnston and lloyd again given too much room in the penalty area floating in between two defenders unable to touch it past chaotic that's the room there's the loose ball there's the touch there's the second goal absolutely incredible [Applause] and a Yoshi [Applause] I'm assuming with the ball in well the Japanese defenders will have to look long and hard at themselves because both goals came from similar balls the low ball in from the corner the low ball in from the free-kick Norio Sasaki said yesterday in the pre-match media conference that we have to start well we have to stick to our plan Carli Lloyd may have wrecked that plan [Applause] such wardroom oh no here's a shimmy [Applause] it is the first time in this tournament that Japan have been behind the United States the only team at the 2015 Women's World Cup who have not at any stage trailed in a match my AMA with the truck wasn't easy Sakaguchi Oh No Oh Jimmy but Sugi rather by Heath Jason for Alex Morgan kreega is holiday [Music] Johnston Rapinoe mrs. Klingenberg good header from blue Megan Rapinoe and it's just stretch and reaching Lloyd it's very much as though Carli Lloyd is again given a free role to play in between the midfield and the striker of Alex Morgan at times the USA a 441 one and at times four four two four four two here's my armor so true John Stehr Brian [Applause] Japan really need to just have a little period of possession using the Netherlands Australia and England in the knockout stages so they've played bigger unless you could say more physical teams in their last three games but chaotic beaten twice already you're back from holiday away by Hope Solo Rapinoe file by Sakaguchi [Applause] the united states who have never finished lower than third at a World Cup finals and at the moment heading for top spot once again Klingon back later on from Lloyd Morgan just denied by a combination of Ariyoshi and OWASA mizu added away by Holliday [Applause] the United States at the moment seemed just that touch quicker to the ball and then their opponents Brian the introduction of Morgan Bryan to the United States team has really helped them you feel in that defensive midfield role which allows Carli Lloyd to just roam at will [Applause] it was amazing some Ashima who is it sudhi [Applause] and watch some easy Sabra stamp from Morgan but sugi is their first though for Japan wants to bring in Miami Sakaguchi this is a de Yoshi it's more like they passing a movement from Japan that we've grown accustomed to driven in towards oh sure me is just a touch too high though taken by solo very much on course Hope Solo to be named as goalkeeper off the tournament holiday he is Johnston loyd with the challenge it might be a major surprise of anyone other than Carly Lloyd is voted player of the tournament as a whole Misawa was voted Player of the Torah four years ago in Germany the experienced Japanese midfielder for whom this is her last World Cup appearance was on the bench [Applause] nada Yoshi [Applause] well bye Lloyd and if you want to play for the big occasion Carli Lloyd is that player to support the United States goals in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games finals to win gold she was one of those who didn't convert her penalty in the shootout against Japan four years ago [Music] away by Sabri Briah nicely done hey Morgan making a run into the middle towards Alex Morgan the stoop 10mm in washer mizu not a good one and two pounder punished once more Lauren holiday make sex renew then we haven't even played 14 minutes here on the United States in America strolling to victory in the 2015 final and for the third time Japan pulled a team meeting the head of clear and it seemed to just hold up in the air and it dropped oh so nicely for Lauren holiday eyes on the ball a clean strike what an amazing score like [Applause] the United States of America three Japan new Lauren holiday with her first goal at this World Cup 24th for her country [Music] and then they come again the long range effort from it's a hat trick with one of the most incredible goals you're ever likely to see Carli Lloyd spotting that are you Mike a Hornet was upper line the long kick up field and kahani come quite taking what has just happened look at where lloyd picks up the ball it's probably a fraction inside the japan half [Applause] Lyde with the long long kick Kaori is struggling and although she gets a hand to it the look on her face tells you all you need to know maybe just maybe there was a bit of the sunshine in her eyes that late afternoon sunshine here in Vancouver but nevertheless what's a goal from Carli Lloyd and that's a hat trick [Music] [Applause] one of the most incredible beginnings to a World Cup final you are ever likely to see and even at this early stage is it too much for Japan [Applause] and not scored more than two girls in any of their fixtures so far the only people to Ecuador who had been comfortably defeated by Switzerland and Cameroon by one goal to nil in their group game in Winnipeg Klingon back Rapinoe [Applause] clinging back driven across firmly that could very well have been goal number five to goal number four for Lloyd Rapinoe with a little touch Klingenberg driving it in and at the moment the Japanese defense is at sixes and sevens [Applause] but wonders whether it might end up six or seven look at that four shots three on gold and three goals [Music] [Applause] what must an assr keep rethinking what must the Japanese players be thinking [Music] Hawaii by Sabra Japan need to score four against the T who have only conceded once at this World Cup that was all the way back in their first match against Australia in Winnipeg since then five successive clean sheets [Applause] and if the USA do keep a clean sheet here they will equal Germany's record of six consecutive clean sheets at the World Cup which was set back in 2007 in China think about dragan holodeck looking for Morgan Rapinoe is on this near side here she is wanna kick [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Carli Lloyd needs one more girl to move in front and the goal scoring stakes for the Golden Boot Rapinoe with the corner kick bit of a push in the area fell on Kumagai [Music] just astonishing that scoreline after just 20 minutes given the recent history between these two countries then we're up many ahead of this match who thought that it might go into extra time well we're going to have to have a comeback of monumental proportions from Japan if that's to be the case Klingenberg with the truck [Applause] Miami [Music] [Applause] back to chaotic well for that false girl Mayumi kahani was beaten by a superb piece of individual skill not her most embarrassing moment not by a long way at this cert World Cup conceded a rather embarrassing late goal against the Netherlands here in the round of 16 match where she allowed the ball to squirm away through into the net owned by Sakaguchi Sakaguchi trying our luck soft target though Hope Solo was taking no chances [Applause] was going wide so much experience in both squads the Japanese have now got to dig deep and use that experience [Applause] my Yama seems to have moved into a more central midfield role [Applause] what a day this is for Ali Krieger there she had a year out of the United States national team because of an injury suffered in 2012 very much an established member of this back for that have been so solid clinging back [Music] boy Brian Rapinoe goodbye Lloyd when it might drop here for Alex Morgan Asit gets in behind it what's your music it's Morgan can't you get the shot away cryonic able to make the save [Applause] Alex Morgan is scored in the round of 16 victory over at Columbia [Music] it's eased back into action after coming into the competition with an injury then one as a substitute in the opening couple of matches welcome the pre-world cup star for the u.s. 18 Carli Lloyd will be the post World Cup star rapido quite drop therefore Heath but Sookie [Music] rumi Atsugi has moved from their central midfield role to left back here she is and sama Shemer in possession now has moved forward to the left hand side over midfield so it's now sakaguchi and my yama in the centre of midfield for at japan Matayoshi tell assuming Ali Yoshi now assuming [Applause] Miami [Applause] just looking to my rights there's a commentary team from one of the Japanese television stations and very glum faces it has to be said as they described the action to viewers back home in Japan [Applause] so mishima will leave this throw for rapid Sookie [Music] [Music] so olds Morgan they were Shimizu [Music] in total the United States and Japan have played each other 29 at times it's the USA who predominate in now is there lights at the end of a very long tunnel put your pad the united states record of only conceding once in this world cup has gone Yuki Oh show me a balloon and place her shot perfectly par solo yukio zhoumi with her second goal of this World Cup final of this World Cup Japan's first of this final and that will give Japan huge hug [Music] [Applause] take it back [Music] into the side netting from Mogan who's claiming a corner but isn't getting one in fact we've had five goals in this first half and we haven't even played half an hour yet and there are many down in the media room before this match you were thinking it could be tight it could be cleanly contested it could be settled by just a single girl just shows doesn't it [Music] you can never predict what will happen in this wonderful wonderful sport [Music] Wilkin dispossessed by a Russian easy motion Sakaguchi oh no or Jimmy trying to get the shot away in by Sam Ashima just kept him play biker assuming real chance for Japan Miami with the shot took a deflection so low with the same that's better from Japan much much better much more the football that we've been used to [Applause] [Music] you can say physically how Japan have been lifted by that goal [Applause] the United States supporters make their voice heard very quiet it has to be said after the fourth goal for a period as if they were sitting back and saying right job done maybe not [Applause] Miami just touch too strong for a Yoshi it's a bit of movement down on the Japanese bench just down below me just wondering whether there might be a change coming up certainly lots of discussions and plotting [Music] flinging back it's away from chemistry [Music] Rapinoe ribbons away pass too well nada Yoshi might feel a little hard time bye-bye that decision badi Sawa so experienced Japan's record appearance holder Japan's record goalscorer over 200 appearances for a country is it going to come on under whether it might be Sakaguchi who makes way in centre of midfield [Applause] Bridgers wants a word with that one or two players as you meet spoken to all the while they can repeat over weights to take this free-kick [Applause] Peppino's delivering high too high and too long now the change for Japan it's a washer mizu [Applause] so the central defender was drawn and that will mean further positional changes for Japan Zhu Xin hua Shimizu he was sent off late in the World Cup final four years ago is replaced by hamare Sawa this will be her last World Cup appearance no matter what [Applause] [Music] looks as though sakaguchi is going to drop back from central midfield to central defense with Sawa coming into the center of midfield you can really feel for [Music] [Applause] now see washing me the target Sabourin was there though for the United States Rapinoe Sabra central defender continuing to come forward cut out by Sakaguchi [Music] but suji our Yoshi Sakaguchi still over 10 minutes to go until halftime so much action in the opening 35 minutes is Robina Lloyd clinging back morgan making a run through the middle Tobin Heath arriving at the far post clinging back just pulls down Calla Subic [Music] sorry akward free kick from Japan as if really quite know what to do from such a position Johnston will tidy [Music] Julie Johnston who might have been a little fortunate to escape a red car after giving away the penalty against England in the semi-final the red card which had it been shown would have ruled her out of this final trigger with the throne Rapinoe gather Biogen me towards Oh No away by Johnston one by Sawa Oh No it's kawasu me Oh Jimmy towards Sawa some mishima has come forward on that left-hand side and that's something the United States will have to be aware of because is a Mishima Lance - camera the group stage where she did steal in on the Blind Side Rapinoe penalized [Music] United States with all of their outfield players they're back on the edge of their own penalty area as you can see nobody left forward in white Miami with the free kick Klingenberg would just get that first dispossessed 19th we got to we have to throw ins there at the same time actually Miami and Calais Umi both with balls in hand both strumming in at the same time Hiroshi loin [Applause] another change for Japan can I sue me I'm told is going to be the player who is going to be replaced by Eureka suger Sawa score in the Japanese league last year with 20 goals [Applause] came on as a substitute for at the injured Kazu and Oh in the opening match against Switzerland [Applause] so two changes already Norio Sasaki is Japan look for a way back into this match the Japanese team that began this match has been drastically altered in personnel and in tactical positioning as well of site hambo yes a appealing referee not interested in the slightest Kumagai perhaps a touch fortunate afterwards suger Sawa Johnston gets it away [Music] [Music] driven in towards ooga Sawa too much strength on the pass forward though it's an interesting decision here we go Kumagai a touch fortunate [Applause] [Music] we'll say streaming forward once more in search of a fish girl before halftime holiday tree gun drives it in away by Kumagai [Applause] [Applause] pace with the throat to many targets one of them is Krieger his Brian towards noid morgan able to get away from the first challenge down in the area well though there are shots in the USA supporters nothing in the way of an appeal from Alex Morgan for a penalty Rapinoe drives it in towards Lloyd that comes off the defender re Yoshi man behind for a corner well the United States must be feeling that they can go forward at will and score and see the referees positioning and you can see exactly why there was no appeal there from Alex Morgan [Applause] United States in America scored their opening goal from a corner kick this their third of the match driven in deep Loyd arriving lengths taken by chaotic and again if you watch the run of Carli Lloyd there was no defender whatsoever tracking her possession drily even the scoreline anything but away by Johnston just a few minutes until nani o Sasaki will deliver one of the most important halftime team
