Two-time Women's World Cup winner Julie Ertz played her final match for the United States, an emotional 3-0 victory over South Africa in a friendly on Thursday night in Cincinnati.

Ertz announced last month that she was retiring after a 10-year career. She started against South Africa, wearing the captain's armband for her 123th appearance for the United States.
