This is a really romantic view of sports, and a strong attack against the strawman argument that's been advanced by nobody ("sports is just numbers"). But to answer the OP's original question: no, she didn't do anything worth mentioning in the game per the newly updated ESPN article. Her team was dominated, losing by 3. "It was the final game in the nearly 14-year career of USWNT star Alex Morgan. The two-time World Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist played 15 minutes, exiting in the first half. Her shot on goal in the 10th minute was saved by Courage goalie Casey Murphy." So should she have been mentioned in the article? Yes, but not for her performance and not in the context of her play in the match.
