It was enough to seal the Concacaf W Championship and a spot at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Fifa president Gianni Infantino was in attendance as the US extended their World Cup and Olympic qualifying streak to 33-0.

Morgan took to Instagram after scoring her 118th career goal.

She posted a picture with the Concacaf trophy and the tournament's best player trophy.

And Morgan performed Curry's iconic 'night night' celebration.

The move became famous when Curry guided Golden State Warriors to the NBA title this summer.

Curry was named NBA Finals MVP for his lights out performance in the 4-2 series win.

And he celebrated some of those victories by pretending to be asleep in his 'night night' pose.

Morgan said: “It just always feels good to be called the champion, and this game just, like, means a lot to us.

"It’s always going to mean a lot.

"Obviously against Canada, they gave us a run for our money, but we prevailed and feel good about the performance.”
