Instead they packed their bags after the scoreless draw as the United States stayed behind, left to wonder how their journey for an unprecedented third consecutive title had nearly turned into utter disaster. Had they exited, it would have been the worst World Cup performance for the top-ranked team and would have marked the first time that defending champions had gone out in the group stage. Doing so will require that the United States resolve their lack of synchrony, with Andonovski previously blaming the starters' lack of playing minutes together. "We have to get on the same page when it comes down to the final goal, to the final pass and execution." "I wouldn’t say that the midfield three was disjointed - obviously we wanted to see them more connected," said Andonovski.

The four-times winners U.S. reached the knockout stages after holding off the debutants, as they spurned several chances to score at Auckland's Eden Park. With the minutes ticking away in the affair, striker Ana Capeta took a shot and 42,958 fans held their breath as they watched the ball ricochet off the post and leave a tearful Portugal team to wonder what could have been. "When Ana shoot I was thinking it will be (a) goal and what Vlatko will do and what I have to do to stop (him)," Portugal coach Neto told reporters. Portugal leave New Zealand with their heads held high after a credible first appearance at the tournament.

"We know it's not good enough, we're not happy with our performance," U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski said after the match. "Our girls were very brave and they made an amazing game today," Portugal coach Francisco Neto told reporters. "It's just not going in the back of the net," Morgan added. "We have so many corners, we have so many opportunities, we got the crosses, I mean just unlucky you know."

CNN —US coach Vlatko Andonovski said it was “insane” for anyone to question the team’s commitment as he responded to criticism from former American international soccer star Carli Lloyd. “Everyone is entitled to opinion and, you know, they can say whatever they want, but I just know how this team feels,” he added. “We know that it’s not good enough … We’re not happy with our performance, but we qualify for the next round. “The performances aren’t where we want them,” experienced forward Megan Rapinoe, who came on as a second-half substitute against Portugal, told reporters. It’s clear, as the players themselves know, that things haven’t clicked for Andonovski’s team yet.
