The U.S. Women’s Soccer Team Beats Australia To Win Bronze Medal At Tokyo Olympics

It was not the color medal the U.S. Women’s National Soccer team had hoped to win at the Olympics. But the dominant 4-3 victory over Australia gave the top-ranked U.S. the bronze medal. In the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, the U.S. was bounced out of the Olympics in the quarterfinals.

Then, as now, the United States is the reigning women’s World Cup champion and the team had hoped to do something never done before: win an Olympic gold medal following a World Cup title. But uneven play in the Olympic tournament with Losses to Sweden in group play and Canada  in the semifinals dashed the U.S. team’s golden hopes.

Two U.S. veterans ensured a better outcome in the team’s final Tokyo Olympics appearance.

Megan Rapinoe scored the USWNT’s first two goals against Australia — including a beautiful corner kick that curled into the goal in the eighth minute. Australia’s Sam Kerr evened the score in the 17th minute. But Rapinoe would not be denied, answering quickly with a powerful strike four minutes later.

Carli Lloyd at 39 is the oldest player on the U.S. team, and she made it 3-1 with a goal in stoppage time.

The U.S. continued its scoring ways in the second half with Lloyd’s second goal to make it 4-1. Australia would not quit. Caitlin Foord had her own answer in the 51st minute to keep the game closer at 4-2. The U.S. kept attacking and countered it with its stifling defense reminiscent of its domination during the 2019 Women’s World Cup.
