Notes:
In the 85th minute, a Chinese through ball skipped into the U.S. box. China's Sun Wen gave chase with Danielle Slaton attempting to screen her off the pass. As Siri Mullinix came sliding out to win the ball, both Sun and Slaton fell to the ground. Referee Tammy Ogston blew her whistle to signal for a penalty kick ruling that Slaton had wrapped Sun up with her arms and dragged the Chinese attacker down. Slaton was given a yellow card. Sun placed her PK in the right corner easily shooting it past Mullinix who had guessed she would be going the other direction.
