The U.S. women’s team stumbled in its first game since July, allowing a goal in each half that sent Portugal to its first win against the Americans, 2-1 on a night two-time World Cup winner Alex Morgan was feted with a star-studded farewell.

Based on the ceremony with San Diego Wave FC, the Alex Morgan retirement ceremony is expected to be 30 minutes before the match. Coverage of the USWNT vs Portugal match begins at 6:30 p.m. ET/ 3:30 p.m. PT in the United States. The match will be shown on multiple platforms, including TV channels and streaming services.

World Cup champion Alex Morgan has swapped the locker room for the board room. It's a move the former USWNT star plotted for years.

Alex Morgan stood on the pitch inside Subaru Park in Chester, Pa., one last time Thursday. Even though she retired last year, this moment — standing before the U.S. women’s national team as it celebrated her iconic legacy — was long overdue.

Since 2014, Alex Morgan has been married to former MLS midfielder Servando Carrasco. Alex Morgan was honored during the match between the US women’s national team and Portugal this Thursday. The USWNT displayed a jersey with the number 224 and Morgan’s name, referencing the total appearances of the former San Diego Wave player.
