Alex Morgan scored a highlight-reel goal to help the United States women's national team defeat Germany, 2-1 on Wednesday in Boca Raton, Fla. The victory kept the Americans perfect in 2016 and made them victors of the first-ever SheBelieves Cup.

Sam Mewis' goal in the 41st minute -- which took bounced on the subpar, sandy sod grass at FAU Stadium and which Germany goalkeeper Almuth Schult failed to properly deal with -- served as the game-winner for the United States. The top-ranked Americans won all three of their games in the SheBelieves Cup, beating England, France and Germany -- four of the world's top five teams -- in a seven-day span. Morgan scored the game-winner against France on Sunday in Nashville, Tenn.
