Celia Sasic won the Golden Boot award since she played less minutes than Lloyd. Carli had three goals coming into the final.

It was a final to remember at B.C. Place in Vancouver, Canada as the USWNT took on Japan for a revenge of the 2011 World Cup final in Germany. Penalty kicks were not needed in this one as the US only needed 45 minutes to get a 4-1 lead that they would work with during the second half.

Carli Lloyd came into this game with three goals and scored another three before the 15-minute mark hit in this final. She ended up with six and tied Germany's Celia Sasic as the leading scorer of the competition. FIFA determined to give her the silver boot due to the fact that Sasic had played less minutes than her.

It was a close race to the finish to decide who was the best goalscorer
