The United States women's soccer team advanced to the Olympic final after a narrow 1-0 victory over Germany, with Sophia Smith scoring the decisive goal five minutes into extra time. The match was marked by a lack of offensive creativity, but US goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher made a crucial save late in the game to preserve the lead. Brazil will face the US in the final after defeating Spain 4-2, highlighted by an own goal from Irene Paredes and goals from Gabi Portilho and Adriana. This final will be a significant moment for Brazilian legend Marta, who aims to conclude her international career with a gold medal. The final is set for Saturday at Parc des Princes in Paris, while Germany and Spain will compete for bronze. Both teams will seek to capitalize on their recent performances, with the US undefeated under new coach Emma Hayes.
