Updated with total viewers: Sunday’s Women’s World Cup Final drew 14.3 million total viewers. That’s a big number, but it’s 44% less than what the American ladies scored in 2015, when they also won.

The 2015 Women’s World Cup Final hauled in a whopping 25.4 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. Last year’s Men’s World Cup Final, the capper to a tournament the U.S. didn’t even qualify for, received 11.4 million viewers.

Four years ago, the Women’s World Cup Final was a night game for United States viewers. Yesterday’s final was a day game.
