The US women's national soccer team is back and they're
better than ever after they just held off Brazil to
win his first Olympic gold medal since 2012.
On Saturday, we saw the fourth different starting lineup used
by the US throughout the Olympic tournament and the match
went into halftime all tied up at nil nil.
After the first half I saw Brazil on all of
the momentum,
but game-winning goal came during the 57th minute when the
US as Corbin Albert came up with the ball midfield.
And saw Sophia Smith take advantage of the space and
the Brazil backfield.
Albert then lofted herself a dime pass through the defenders
to Mallory Swanson and Swanson launched the ball into the
far right corner.
That goal sent American fans into a frenzy and they
got even more hyped after it was confirmed that Swanson
was not offsides.
10 minutes was added to the second-half and American goalkeeper
Alyssa Nair made herself a crucial save in the 94th
minute to keep the Brazilians from.
Scoring the equalizer with the win,
the US became the first team in women's soccer to
earn 5 Olympic gold medals,
which increased their Olympic soccer total to seven.
Yeah.
