USA 3-0 Chile: Report, Ratings & Reaction as USWNT Qualify for Knockout Rounds With Comfortable Win

USA booked their place in the knockout rounds of the Women's World Cup with a comfortable 3-0 win over Chile on Sunday evening.

A brace from Carli Lloyd and a solitary strike from Julie Ertz secured the three points - though Chile's goalkeeper Christiane Endler arguably stole the show with an incredible performance between the sticks.

The USWNT began where they left off against Thailand on Tuesday, taking the lead after just 11 minutes through Lloyd, who swept home a wonderful half-volley from range. Jill Ellis' side struggled to maintain their rhythm after that early opener, but their proficiency from corners meant that they were able to race into a three-goal lead before half-time with Ertz and Lloyd both heading home from close range.
