Huge cheers erupt around Eden Park as a blue-haired Megan Rapinoe comes on as a substitute for the US.
She replaces Alex Morgan, who assisted on the team’s second goal.
Rapinoe is making her 200th appearance for the USWNT in Saturday’s game and will be hoping to mark the occasion with her 10th World Cup goal — only three of her compatriots have scored more in women’s World Cup history.
The 38-year-old announced earlier this month that she is to retire at the end of the 2023 NWSL season. Should she score at the World Cup, she would become the USWNT’s oldest ever goalscorer at the event, replacing Carli Lloyd.
The US leads 2-0.
