The whistle blew.
The game kicked off into the second half against Mexico with the USWNT winning 1-0.
Alex had so many opportunities on goal, and every one was saved by the keeper or wide.
Tobin's passes were getting sharper and better, more accurate.
"Lets focus ladies!" Abby yelled, right before they took a corner kick. The ball was sent in spiraling towards Alex.
This was her chance.
Getting her head on the ball, she sent it flying at the goal.
The keeper got a hand on it, punching it out for another corner.
Alex groaned in frustration.
Foiled again.
This corner, JJ was ready for her near post run.
The kick was taken, then JJ attempted to head it in, but it bounced off the top of her head and out of the box toward Moe. Moe fired a shot, surprisingly stopped, and it bounced out of the goalie's hands right to Alex.
She focused on this shot.
Open goal.
Alex stared at where she wanted the ball to go, and memorized where she wanted to hit the ball.
Then she struck.
It bounced under the keeper's dive and into the bottom right corner.
The stadium erupted in cheers.
Alex ran over to the camera, and kissed it.
Making her way back, Tobin hugged her tight.
The game ended fifteen minutes later. 2-0.
The crowd cheered, and the USWNT shook hands with the Mexicans.
"Good job Alex" Tobin hugged her.
"Thanks, you too Tobin. You had an amazing game" Alex said, then they decided to have their first kiss on live tv.
Their lips fit together, and they could hear the snapping of photographer's taking pictures.
Then, they walked hand in hand to join the rest of their team who was heading to the locker rooms.
"Hey lovebirds. I saw what you did there" JJ smiled.
"Yeah? Why wouldn't you kiss Christen on live tv?" Tobin asked.
"Why? Oh because its just too early in our relationship" JJ smiled sincerely.
"Yeah right. You two probably had sex already" Alex chuckled, and JJ blushed, because it was true.
"Okay okay you two. Leave JJ alone. She's only a baby" Megan said, covering JJ's ears, making everyone laugh.
"Am not!" JJ turned red, laughing.
"Are too!" Megan said, pushing JJ a little, joking around.
"Ladies! Bring it in!" Jill called, and everyone jogged over to her.
"That was one of the greatest games I've ever watched. Although we had so many chances and could've put them away," Jill said, glancing at Alex, who stared at her cleats. "but overall ladies, I am very proud of how you played today"
"USA on three!" Abby yelled, and everyone put their hands in the middle.
"1! 2! 3! USA!" Everyone shouted, then cheered, and whooped as they left the locker rooms.
