The Netherlands team expressed their thoughts on the USA game in an interview before the match. They challenged the USWNT saying, “We can beat anyone,” adding even more excitement to their rivalry. The 2019 World Cup finalists on Wednesday faced off in a thrilling encounter.

The Match had many exciting moments, but one thing that caught the eye of fans is the NFL star Patrick Mahomes reaction to USWNT captain Lindsey Horan‘s response to the opponent’s challenge.

Patrick Mahomes reacts to USWNT captain’s heroics to save the game

The two-time Super Bowl Winner and one of the most popular players in the NFL, Patrick Mahomes, reacted on USWNT’s comeback vs Netherlands. NFL star, who is also a soccer fan, has shared a one-word tweet after seeing Lindsay Horan’s heroics to save the team.

USWNT was down by one goal in the 17th minute of the game. This was the first time since 2011 that they were trailing in a World Cup game. But The Gals showed resilience and fought back. In the early second half, Netherlands midfielder Van de Donk put a hard tackle on US captain Lindsey Horan. The captain took some time to recover and went to the opponent’s box for a corner. Horan seemed determined, and rightly so; she showed her prowess by heading that corner into the net and leveling the score.

The last showdown between the USA and the Netherlands was in the quarterfinals of the Tokyo Olympics. The quarterfinal match ended 2-2 after extra time, and the USA emerged victorious in the penalty shoot-out, advancing to the semifinals. This time, the only difference in the results was that the Stars and Stripes had to share the result with Oranje leeuwinnen.

What is next for USWNT?

The USWNT has a week to rest, reset, and prepare for its next challenge – Portugal. On the other hand, Portugal suffered a 0-1 loss against the Netherlands in their tournament’s opening match and currently holds the third position in Group E. The Stars and Stripes lead group E in goal difference with the Netherlands as they currently stand on the same number of points.

The draw against the Netherlands might have left the reigning champs and their supporters wanting more. Their world cup journey will not be affected by this result, and the upcoming match against Portugal provides an opportunity for the team to showcase their capabilities and regain their winning momentum.

Still, the question remains, can the USWNT come back to winning ways and continue its journey toward the three-peat? What do you think?
