The U.S. women’s national soccer team advanced to the round of 16 at the Women’s World Cup after securing a 0-0 draw with Portugal on Tuesday morning in the final game of group play.
Vlatko Andonovski’s U.S. team needed to win or tie against Portugal—a team it had defeated 10 meetings in a row—to advance to the knockout stage. The USWNT finished second in Group E with five points—two behind the Netherlands, which posted a dominant 7-0 win over Vietnam on Tuesday.
The Americans will face the winner of Group G in Melbourne on Sunday.
