The United States women's national soccer team claimed the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a narrow 1-0 victory over Brazil, marking their first gold since 2012. Mallory Swanson scored the decisive goal in the second half, while goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher made a crucial save in stoppage time to preserve the lead. This victory represents the fifth gold in the history of the U.S. women's soccer program, ending a 14-year drought. The match was tightly contested, with both teams having opportunities, but the U.S. ultimately capitalized on their chances. Notably, the game saw the return of Brazilian legend Marta, who was playing in her final international tournament. The win further cements the U.S. team's dominance in Olympic women's soccer, having previously defeated Brazil in finals in 2004 and 2008.
