World Soccer Champs: US Defeats Japan 5-2 To Win FIFA Women's World Cup 2015

The U.S. Women's National Team won Women's World Cup trophy in Vancouver after beating Japan 5-2 thanks to Carli Lloyd's heroics.

In the highly anticipated match, Carli Lloyd and the United States women's national team beat Japan to get the title of World Champions of the FIFA Women's World Cup, FOX Sports reported. The 5-2 dominating win was highlighted by Lloyd's hat trick, accomplished in a record setting 16 minutes, the first ever in Women's World Cup history and second in World Cup Final history.

"I call her [Lloyd] my beast," USWNT coach Jill Ellis said, as quoted by FOX. "She's unbelievable, a rock star."

The match broke records, registering the highest-scoring finals in the Women's World Cup. The seven-goal match broke the previous record of four makes, set in 2011.

The shootout was revenge for the USWNT, who lost to Japan on penalty kicks in the 2011 Women's World Cup final. With the trophy, USWNT legend Abby Wambach is finally able to close her career with the elusive Women's World Cup championship.

Lloyd's Hat Trick

Lloyd's hat trick and her last strike from midfield, gave the U.S. a 4-0 lead, thanks to Lauren Holiday's own goal by the 14th minute. Japan did not waste time and fought back, registering two goals just a few moments into the second half.

Unfortunately for Japan's national team, Tobin Heath of the USWNT cemented the win with a goal in the 54 minute mark. This clinch gave Coach Ellis a lot of time to sub in players for their share of pre-declaration celebration on the pitch.

FIFA reported the final match statistics as Japan edging the U.S. with a 52 percent share of possessions and a 15-12 lead in free kicks. However, the U.S. registered an advantage in shots at 15-12. U.S. bested Japan in both stats: 7-4 for on-target shots and 7-3 on corner attempts.

Not A Smooth Journey

Although the U.S. team displayed dominance in the final, their 2015 campaign wasn't demonstrative of the power they unleashed against Japan. The USWNT struggled in matches but eventually made it to the final, thanks to both their makes in transition and penalties. Ellis made an important adjustment to the team's formation in the last match against Germany, which they won 2-0.

The team expressed their joy online, sharing photos on various social media sites. U.S. President Barack Obama congratulated the ladies in a tweet sent out by his official twitter account.
