Led at half-time on the American football synthetic at Union Stadium in Spokane (United States) on a goal from Bongben Confidence (24th), the Habs owe a proud candle to Rachel Corboz. Already author of the only goal against South Korea in the previous match sending them to the final, the Stade de Reims midfielder scored a saving double in the second half.
She first found herself at the conclusion of a low center from Marion Braunwart, intelligently left past by Sarah Palacin, to equalize from the left from the penalty spot (47th). Before offering the victory and the title to his team with a free kick from twenty meters in the middle in the skylight (79th), following a hand outside the area from goalkeeper Annette Flore Ngo Ndom, expelled for this fault.
