    USA 2-0 Netherlands

    As it stands, the Golden Boot is heading Megan Rapinoe's way. That's because she has scored her six goals and picked up three assists in fewer minutes than Alex Morgan.

    Obviously a goal or an assist from either of Morgan or Rapinoe will change things.

    The Netherlands fans are trying their best to stay positive here but the USA-heavy crowd are drowning them out.

    It's a 4 July style party in the Stade de Lyon right now.

    Alex Morgan got completely free but Sari van Veenendaal came out and closed the angle and when that last touch went long she slid in at her feet.

    USA 2-0 Netherlands

    Alex Morgan is through now! She only has the keeper to beat but a really heavy touch lets her down and Sari van Veenendaal comes out to gather it in.

  7. CLOSE!published at 71 mins

    USA 2-0 Netherlands

    How did the USA not score!

    Megan Rapinoe slots it through to Tobin Heath on the right. She beats the full-back, cuts inside and floors the keeper but gets her feet muddled up just as she's about to shoot.

    The rebound then bounces off Rapinoe's shin.

    Lieke Martens is off. On comes Jill Roord.

    Rose Lavelle has been quite quiet but my word what a goal. That is what she is good at - running with the ball and shooting from distance.

    Rose Lavelle

    A brilliant goal from Rose Lavelle, who has had a magnificent tournament!

    She drives through the centre, shimmies to her right and expertly places it into the bottom right corner.

    Lovely finish! Game over?

    Lyon winger Shanice van de Sanden is being prepared. The Dutch need a spark from somewhere!

    Vivianne Miedema almost provided it a few moments ago when she dribbled past several players before losing it in the box.

    There's a bit of space opening up for the Netherlands as the USA adrenaline just seems to be kicking in.

    Jackie Groenen's touch is too heavy on the right and wastes a potential attack. At the other end, Stefanie van der Gragt come sliding in to block Alex Morgan's shot from the edge of the area.

    Lee: What have the Netherlands got left?

    arnietv: Morgan has dived every time the ball has gone near her, ridiculous.

    JB: Once again VAR to the rescue for the USA. Joke!

    Wow, the USA fans just blew the metaphorical roof off when Rapinoe sent home the penalty.

    The substitutes then came rushing in to join the American celebrations. Pile on!

    Danielle van de Donk encourages some energy from her teammates as she waves her arms around in midfield.

    The USA are really starting to pile it on.

    She didn't even look flustered. She was the first one to go over there pick the ball up and say I'm taking this. So much composure. Sari van Veenendaal didn't even move.

    Calmness personified. She talks the talk but she walked the walk there. She has stood up as captain and slotted the ball home comfortably.

    Cool as you like.

    The captain steps up and smartly slots it down the middle. That means Megan Rapinoe goes level with Alex Morgan on six goals each!

    But does Morgan get the assist for winning the penalty?

    I think it's a high foot and I don't even know why she is using it. She should know that if she doesn't win the ball it will be a penalty.

    Stefanie van der Gragt goes into the book.
