WELLINGTON (Reuters) - There were no cheers in the Netherlands' locker room, just a quiet sense of satisfaction after holding the United States to a hard-fought 1-1 draw in a group stage match at the Women's World Cup on Thursday, coach Andries Jonker said.

The Netherlands were out for revenge after the Americans denied them the trophy in 2019 and had wanted the outright win against the four-times champions, who also ended their Olympic run two years ago in the quarter-final.
