The United States made history on Tuesday night after their emphatic 13-0 win over Thailand in their opening match at the Women’s World Cup campaign in France.
The 13-0 scoreline is the largest margin of victory in the history of the FIFA World Cup (men’s and women’s).
The holders and three-time champions left a series of records in their wake, ending a run of tense, low-scoring encounters at France 2019 by racking up the biggest winning margin the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ has ever seen.
Sam Mewis scored the tournament’s 800th goal, while Alex Morgan helped herself to five as the Americans fired an awesome warning to their title rivals.
The result propelled the defending champions to the top of Group F alongside Sweden.
