Soccer: U.S. women back on top
The U.S. women’s soccer team is back atop the Olympic podium after its 1-0 win against Brazil in the gold medal match on Saturday in Paris, France.
In the 57th minute, Mallory Swanson dribbled upfield into a one-on-one against Brazil’s goalkeeper, Lorena, and struck clean into the back of the net to make it 1-0. Swanson’s game-winner was her fourth goal of the tournament and came during her 100th cap with the U.S. team.
“I had a couple of opportunities earlier,” Swanson said. “I tried to put those behind me. It was a great feeling to score.”
It’s only been 70 days since Emma Hayes coached her first match with the U.S. team. She’s now the fastest USWNT coach to win a world title after she notched nine wins and one draw in the first 10 games.
“I’m going through so many emotions, so many feelings,” Hayes said. “I’m very emotional. I feel privileged to be the coach of this team. I have no words.”
Results: Women’s soccer
