The match marked the start of U.S. legend Lloyd's farewell tour, with the veteran forward playing four matches with the national team after announcing her retirement in August.

Lloyd got the start and immediately handed the U.S. into a two-goal lead with a glancing header from a corner kick before firing in from close range to stake the Americans to a 2-0 lead before the five-minute mark.
