On the women’s team USA They do not forget the controversial goal scored, in the fatal penalty shootout, by the Swedish Lina Hurtig. That goal, believed by some to have gone in but deemed good by the referee, meant passing Sweden in the round of 16 world and, as a consequence, the premature elimination of the North American team.
Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher has the clearest. Unsurprisingly, he was under the sticks when Hurtig launched. “I remember it was like everything went in slow motion. Honestly, I would tell death that I stopped it. No one could convince me otherwise. I saved the footage on my phone and I check it every so often unhealthy. I have. seen many times”, admitted.
“It was a very strange feeling because I was really convinced that I had saved it. I thought: ‘Okay, we’re in, we’re qualified.’ When he (the referee) blew his whistle and they all ran and celebrated… No, I can’t describe the feeling I felt. It was the strangest way to end a match.”
