The Jill Ellis era is officially over, and while it may not have ended the way so many of the matches in her tenure have, the U.S. did come from behind to draw South Korea 1-1 at Soldier Field in Chicago in front of 33,027 supporters. South Korea struck first, but Carli Lloyd equalized and almost gave the U.S. the win.
The U.S. finishes Jill Ellis’ 2019 calendar year run at 18-1-3 but saw a 17-match winning streak snapped. The The USWNT is 10-0-3 in the all-time series against Korea Republic, and if not for a controversial offside call, it might have been a victory.
