Alozie plays for Houston Dash and she was phenomenal throughout the Falcons outing in the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

She was reacting to the drama between her and James that led to a red card.

In the 84th minute of the knock-out game against England, James picked up a yellow card for an impetuous stamp on Alozie after both players tussled for the ball.

Referee Melissa Borjas after reviewing the video monitor withdrew the yellow card and showed off a red card.

Although England were down by a player, they held the Falcons to a draw and later won 4-2 on penalties.

But James will likely miss out on the rest of the competition over the violent behavoiur based on FIFA rules.

FIFA rules say, “A player will be suspended for at least three matches for violent conduct; at least three matches or an appropriate period of time for assault, including elbowing, punching, kicking, biting, spitting, or hitting an opponent or a person other than a match official.”
