1:0 victory in the final
US women’s soccer team wins fifth Olympic gold medal
The US women's soccer team has secured Olympic gold for the fifth time.
The USA beat Brazil 1:0 (0:0) in the final of the games in Paris on Saturday. Mallory Swanson scored the golden goal in the 57th minute.
More than half of the eight Olympic titles in women's soccer since 1996 have gone to the USA. The last time the Americans triumphed was in London 2012. Germany won the tournament in 2016 and Canada in 2021.
For six-time world player Marta, on the other hand, her international career ended without an Olympic victory. The 38-year-old Brazilian played one last time in France to fulfill her dream after all. She was substituted in the second half of the final, but was unable to prevent the defeat. Germany had won bronze the day before with a 1-0 victory over world champions Spain.
