The U.S. women’s soccer team faced Japan in the Olympic quarterfinals, dominating possession but ending regulation time in a 0-0 tie, leading to extra time. Under new coach Emma Hayes, the U.S. entered the match undefeated, having outscored opponents 9-2 at the Paris Games. Japan, which had conceded four goals in its group, limited the Americans' scoring opportunities. The winner of this match will face either Germany or Canada in the semifinals. Notable fans attending included former U.S. stars Megan Rapinoe and Mia Hamm, along with rapper Snoop Dogg. Korbin Albert started in midfield for the U.S., replacing the ineligible Sam Coffey due to yellow card accumulation.
