USWNT legend Carli Lloyd calls it a career with emotional exit from final match

One of the most decorated careers in soccer history has officially come to a close.

Carli Lloyd, a fixture on the USWNT for the past 15 years, played her farewell match in a friendly against South Korea on Tuesday. While she finished scoreless, she still delivered the moment of the match when she was pulled in the 66th minute.

The crowd gave Lloyd a standing ovation as soon as her No. 10 was shown for a substitution at St. Paul's Allianz Field. Lloyd proceeded to remove her cleats, give a hug to every teammate in sight and remove her jersey to show another jersey with the name of her husband, Brian Hollins.
