Kristine Lilly opened the scoring in the 14th minute and tournament MVP Carli Lloyd continued her stellar performance by grabbing the insurance marker in the 52nd.

The Americans were on the attack from the start of the game with Lilly, Lloyd and Abby Wamback each creating chances in the game's opening 10 minutes. The pressure paid off in the 14th as Wamback set up Lilly with the game's first goal. Wamback chipped a ball behind the Denmark defense that enabled Lilly to run on to it. Keeper Heidi Johansen came off her line to meet the ball, but Lilly arrived first and lobbed a shot over the keeper and into the back of the net for a 1-0 lead to the Americans.

Anne Dot Eggers Neilsen created an opening for the Danes in the 23rd minute when she took the ball into the box on the left and drove a shot on net that forced American keeper Hope Solo to make a nice diving stop.

Lloyd then showed why she has become one of the most dangerous scorers on the American roster as she created a brilliant goal seven minutes after the restart. The midfielder gathered the ball and made room for herself 30-yards from goal. She took a few dribbles and fired a rocket from 25-yards out that struck the bottom of the cross bar and settled into the back of the net to give the U.S. a two-goal cushion.

The American defense never looked like they would concede the rest of the way, recording their second clean sheet in four matches and finishing the competition with a perfect 4-0 record.
