In a commanding performance, Alex Morgan scored her 101st career goal during a friendly match against Belgium, leading the U.S. women’s national team to a decisive 6-0 victory. The match, held at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles, showcased the team’s strength as they prepared for the upcoming World Cup.
The U.S. women’s national team dominated the game, with Carli Lloyd netting two goals in the first half, while Lindsey Horan and Samantha Mewis also contributed to the scoreline. Belgium, struggling to find their footing, failed to score, ending the match with a 0 in the goals column.
With 21,000 fans in attendance, the atmosphere was electric, and the victory improved the U.S. women’s national team’s record to 4-1-2 for the year 2019. This match was particularly significant as it was the last opportunity for the team to finalize their roster before heading to France for the World Cup.
Jimmy Butler, the NBA star, expressed his admiration for Morgan, stating, “Oh, we got all types of superstars. I’ll let y’all know, not me.” His involvement in the soccer community has grown, as he recently joined San Diego Wave FC as a minority investor in October 2025.
Carli Lloyd, reflecting on her performance, confidently remarked, “I know who I am. I know what I’m capable of.” Her contributions, along with Morgan’s milestone goal, highlight the depth of talent within the U.S. women’s national team.
