Although Villarreal will get many of the plaudits for the opening goal (and justifiably so) it wouldn’t have happened without Gamero’s constant pressure on the Nigerian defensive midfield. Even after the penalty kick goal, the Beach FC forward/Stanford commit never showed a moment of letting up. Her persistent defensive work led to a timely steal and a superb run on the counter-attack. Her passing, as it has been all tournament long, was once again on point finding Villarreal with open space to exploit. It was a fantastic set up play that led to some excellent execution. Her shot in the 84th minute would have sealed it for the Americans but credit to Nigerian defender Miracle Usani for making a brilliant defensive stop. Gamero was named the FIFA Player of the Match.
