After getting the draw, the USWNT stays at the top of Group E with four points.
The Netherlands also has four points, though, but the USA has an advantage on goal differential (NED +1, USA +3).
Meanwhile, Portugal gets the third position with three points after winning its second match against Vietnam.
The Group E final composition will be decided during the third match in which the USA will face Portugal on Aug. 1 and the Netherlands will take Vietnam.
This result also means the USA extends its unbeaten record in FIFA Women’s World Cup group stage matches to eight.
The USA team dominated the match, outshooting 18-4 and corner kicks 11-1, but the Netherlands scored first in the 17th minute.
The team got some creative spark in the second half as midfielder Rose Lavelle came into the match.
Lindsey Horan finally scored the equalizer in the 62nd minute after she converted Lavelle’s corner kick into a goal.
