📝 USWNT set new Women's World Cup record victory against Thailand | OneFootball

The USWNT sent a message to their 2019 Women’s World Cup rivals with an unbelievable 13-0 victory over Thailand on Tuesday evening.

Goals from Alex Morgan (5), Rose Lavelle (2), Lindsey Horan, Sam Mewis (2) Megan Rapinoe, Mallory Pugh and Carli Lloyd gave the reigning world champions an emphatic, record breaking victory in Reims, leaving them top of Group F on goal difference.

Jill Ellis’s side took the lead after just 12 minutes when Morgan nodded home from Kelley O’Hara’s cross for her 102nd international goal, ending a drought of 302 minutes without scoring.

Eight minutes later it was 2-0 when Lavelle’s effort from 25-yards slipped through the grasp of Thailand goalkeeper Sukanya Chor-Charoenying and into the corner.

Horan then made it 3-0 just after the half hour mark when she lashed home from close range after the Thai defence had been unable to clear a Tobin Heath free-kick.

It was after the interval when the tournament favourites really stepped things up a gear and four goals inside six minutes from Mewis, Morgan, Mewis again and Lavelle’s second of the game put the USWNT 7-0 up and the contest beyond any reasonable doubt.

And with just over 15 minutes remaining, Morgan completed her hat-trick to make it 8-0 before Rapinoe made it nine when she finished off a lightning fast break in the 79th minute.

If that weren’t enough, Morgan then side-footed home her fourth of the game from the edge of the area to make it 10 before Pugh made it 11.

And it was who else but Morgan who bagged the record breaking strike when she fired home left-footed to make it 12-0, before substitute Carli Lloyd rubbed more salt into Thai wounds when she made it 13-0 in stoppage time.

The victory is the biggest ever in Women’s World Cup history – surpassing Germany’s 11-0 thrashing of Argentina in 2007.

Player of the match: Alex Morgan (USA)

The favourite for the Golden Boot started as she means to go on with five very well taken goals. She’s gonna take some stopping in France.
