USWNT fans snarkily call the post that Portugal hit late at the World Cup ‘the player of the match’

The USWNT is through to the elimination rounds at the 2023 World Cup … and it was all thanks to a goal post.

In the 91st minute, as the United States was holding on against Portugal in a 0-0 tie — the point would get them through to the next round — Ana Capeta booted a ball from just inside the box that bounced off the post. It was a heartbreaker for Portgual, which was eliminated after the match.
