The victory marks both the 4th world title and back-to-back wins for the US women after taking home the trophy in 1991, 1999 and 2015.
The U.S. women's national soccer team proved their dominance at the 2019 Women's World Cup by defeating the Netherlands 2-0 on Sunday in the championship match.
The first half of the game went scoreless, with co-captain Megan Rapinoe earning the first goal of the game with a penalty kick at the 61-minute mark. Just before the 69-minute mark, midfielder Rose Lavelle, 24, scored the second goal. At the close of the game, some members of the crowd began chanting"equal pay" as a show of support for the U.S. Women's National Team, which is in a legal fight for their pay to match that of their male counterparts.Lucy Nicholson / Reuters
