Horan remained on the ground for several moments in pain, then shot up and yelled in Lyon club teammate Van de Donk's face, prompting the referee to rush to the scene and try to calm the players down. Moments later, Horan equalised through a header from a corner kick. Despite shaking hands with Van de Donk after the match, Horan confirmed that the bad blood during the second half wasn't just for show. "Honestly when me and Dan go up against each other it's always a physical battle," she told Fox Sports afterward. "I respect her so much because that's how it should be. It should be competitive. "Once we got into that tackle, all I wanted to do was score. Heat of the moment, I got a little p***** at her. Rose [Lavelle] put in an absolute dime and I got on the end of it. Happy for the goal." On the USWNT coming back from their first Women's World Cup deficit in 12 years, Horan added: "It was unbelievable. I felt the momentum the whole time. The first half, I think we can be a little disappointed with how we played, but I think we fixed things right away, the pressure that we put on and the chances and opportunities that came from it. Proud of the team and its response." The skirmish between Horan and Van de Donk changed the complexion of the match. After Horan's emotional outburst, the USWNT maintained control and nearly snatched a winner when Sophia Smith played Trinity Rodman in on goal. Rodman's left-footed attempt was impressively saved by the fingertips of Dutch goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar. Head coach Vlatko Andonovski said he was impress){kind=link}
