USA 5-2 Japan: Carli Lloyd nets stunning early 13-minute hat-trick as Americans win dramatic Women's World Cup final.
Carli Lloyd enjoyed the game of her life as the United States beat Japan 5-2 to win the Women's World Cup.Barely 15 minutes had elapsed when Lloyd put the USA 4-0 up, completing her World Cup final hat-trick with a goal from the halfway line - a career peak surely beyond the dreams of any player, male or female.
In a repeat of the 2011 final, which Japan won on penalties, the Nadeshiko could not live with their stronger and quicker opponents, who went 4-0 up when Lloyd scored an astonishing third from the halfway line.
The American midfielder put the 1991 and 1999 champions two goals up within five minutes in a stunning start to the match.
