US players celebrate at the end of the France 2019 Women's World Cup Group F football match between USA and Chile, on June 16, 2019, at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris.

Lloyd netted twice in the first half either side of a Julie Ertz goal, as the USA joined Sweden — who beat Thailand 5-1 earlier — in qualifying for the knockout phase from Group F. Lloyd had not been pleased about being used as a substitute against Thailand when she came on to score her team’s last goal, but here she came in as one of seven changes made by coach Jill Ellis.

The third goal soon followed in near identical fashion, with another right-wing corner, by Tierna Davidson, being headed home emphatically by Lloyd for her 113th international goal on her 276th appearance.
